Isidor Bajic (Serbian Cyrillic: Исидор Бајић) (August 16 1878September 15 1915) was a Serbian composer, pedagogue, and publisher.

He was born in Kula. A pupil of H.Koesller in Budapest, he taught at the Novi Sad High School, where he founded a music school and initiated the publication of the "Serbian Music Magazine" and the "Serbian Music Library" (an occasional edition of Serbian compositions). He was also concerned with melography. He died at Novi Sad.

His most important work is a romantic national opera "Knez Ivo od Semberije" ("Prince Ivo of Semberia"), based on folklore, the subject matter being from Serbian Uprising against the Turks at the beginning of the 19th century. In addition, he wrote a large numbers of plays including songs, and light operas as well, a symphony "Miloš Obilić" (which was lost), an overture "Mena", piano pieces ("Serbian Rhapsody", "An Album of Compositions"), songs with piano) the cycle "Songs of Love"), choral music, music for tambouritza bands. Being romantically sentimental, melodically inventive, frequently almost identical with folk music, these works made him extremely popular within the region of his origin in his day.
