Ljudi i bogovi () is the fourth studio album from the Serbian and Yugoslav hard rock band Kerber, released in 1988.
Background and recording Ljudi i bogovi was recorded during 1988 in PGP-RTB Studio V and produced by Đorđe Petrović. After the recording of the band's previous album, Seobe (Migrations), keyboardist Branislav Božinović had to leave the band due to his mandatory stint in the Yugoslav army, and was replaced by Milorad Džmerković for the promotional tour, but by the time Ljudi i bogovi recording sessions, his army service had ended and he had rejoined the group. All of the lyrics on the album were written by the band's old associate Duško Arsenijević, Ljudi i bogovi being the band's first album with all lyrics written by him, with some of the lyrics dealing with political topics for the first time in the band's career. The album was titled after a verse from the track Manifest (Manifesto).
Ljudi i bogovi was the band's last album recorded with bass guitarist Zoran Žikić. He would leave the band in the summer of 1988, and would be replaced by Branko Isaković.
