The Association of Serbian Youth (Serbian: Дружина младежи српске / Družina mladeži srpske) was the first student organisation in Serbia, founded in 1847 by the students of the Lyceum of the Principality of Serbia.[1]

The society was founded in Belgrade on 20 June 1847 by Lycée professor Sergije Nikolić and a few students, namely Jevrem Grujić and Milovan Janković[2]. Later, their number grew with Petar Protić-Sokoljanin (1827-1954) and Dimitrije Petrović, who were the best known, and shortly before its demise in 1851 the society had some fifty regular members.[3]

This organisation was banned and disestablished in 1851 because of their criticism of the Defenders of the Constitution.
