Bjelogrlić (Serbian Cyrillic: Бјелогрлић, meaning "son of the "White throat") is an Orthodox Christian Serbian surname.

Certain members originate from the Ilići / Kaluđerovići from Bjelica, a village near Cetinje, Montenegro. Descendants exist in Foča, Bileća where they are also known as Drinjak/Drinjac.

Herzegovinian Bjelogrlići hail from the Miljanići from Banjani, also in Montenegro.

Another, more plausible source concerning the origin of the surname stems from Jefto Dedijer's study Hercegovina (Belgrade, 1909) and Novak Mandić Studo's monograph Zemlja zvana Gacko (Land Called Gacko). Both publications cite that the family originated sometime in the second half of the 17th century, when a bride from the Okiljević family, who had been married to a member of the Pamučina clan in Slivnica (a hamlet of Zagradinje) near Trebinje, came back to her family in Lipnik near Gacko with her two sons. Nicknamed Bjelogrla (Lady of White Throat) after her beauty, she was forced to rejoin her parental home after becoming a widow. Her descendants inherited the surname.

Dragan Bjelogrlić (born 1963), Serbian actor
Goran Bjelogrlić, Serbian film producer
Radovan Bjelogrlić, Bosnian Serb politician
