Serbian printing refers to the history of printing among Serbs, both in Serbia and in other regions, including the Serbian diaspora. In its early stages, from the end of the 15th century to the middle of the 17th century, the development of Serbian printing was marked by the use of Serbian Church Slavic language and Old Serbian Cyrillic alphabet, and later by the use of literary Slavonic-Serbian language, up to the beginning of the 19th century, when the modern Serbian language and Serbian Cyrillic alphabet were standardized (Vuk's reform).

The first modern state printing house, the Serbian Printing House, was established in 1832, in Belgrade, then the capital city of the Principality of Serbia.
