Serbs (Serbs in Germany, Srbi u Nemačkoj) are the seventh largest group of foreigners in Germany.

There were 424,037 people with Serbian citizenship living in Germany in 2008. They are located mostly in the regions of Berlin, Bremen, Munich and Stuttgart.

Most Serbs living in Germany, moved during the 1960s and 1970s as Gastarbeiter or "Guest workers" when Serbia was part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. A small percentage of Serbs migrated to Germany as refugees during the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s.
