Miloš ("Mićo") Milošević (born May 10, 1972) is a swimmer from Croatia. His best swimming discipline was butterfly stroke, but he also competed in freestyle and backstroke.

Miloš Milošević was born in Split to an ethnic Serb family. He enrolled in the swimming school of the swimming club "Mornar" in 1980, which lasted four years. At the age of 14, he started competing in youth swimming competitions of SFR Yugoslavia. He won a total of eight gold medals as a junior.

He later moved to Rijeka, to the swimming club "Primorje". As a person of Serb descent, during the Croatian War of Independence he had considerable difficulty trying to compete for Croatia.

In the 1994 World Championships he was fifth in that event.
