The Serbia men's national water polo team represents Serbia in international water polo competitions and is controlled by the Water Polo Association of Serbia. It was known as the Yugoslavia men's national water polo team until February 2003 and the Serbia and Montenegro national water polo team until June 2006. When Serbia became independent, it became the successor state to the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro and, therefore, the results of all previous states rightfully belong to it. Including the results of the national teams under all names, Serbia is the most successful team in World championships and is one of the most successful in all other competitions. The Olympic Committee of Serbia and Yugoslavia declared the water polo team for the best male sports team of the year nine times with the first time in 2001, then seven times in a row from 2003 to 2009 and the last one in 2011.

Let me hide myself in Thee!
Let the Water and the Blood,
From thy riven Side which flow’d,
Be of sin the double cure;
Cleanse me from its guilt and pow’r.”

“Imagination is a valuable asset in business and she has a sister, Understanding, who also serves. Together they make a splendid team and business problems dissolve and the impossible is accomplished by their ministrations.... Imagination concerning the world’s wants and the individual’s needs should be the Alpha and Omega of self-education.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
