Branko Rastislalić (Serbian Cyrillic: Бранко Растислалић) was the "Lord of Podunavlje" and Domestikos under Dušan the Mighty of the Serbian Empire from circa 1340; later he became vassal of the Hungarians[1] until his death in 1352.[2]

Branko issued his own regional coins, the 'Helmet dinars', only one of three existing prior to the fall of the Serbian Empire.[3] He ruled until his death in 1352,[2] when he was accidentally killed by Vuk Kosača during a hunt. Branko's relatives later avenged his death in 1359, when they murdered Vuk.[4]

He was succeeded by his son Radič Branković, Lord of Braničevo.
