Nemanjić (Serbian Немањић; also rarely Nemanjid) was a medieval Serb ruling dynasty.

The dynasty was named after Stefan Nemanja, though it began shortly before him. It gave sixteen Serbian monarchs between 1166 and 1371.

The family crest was a bicephalic argent eagle on a red shield, inherited from the Byzantine Paleologus dynasty.
