Bijelo dugme (trans. "White Button") is a Bosnian/Yugoslav rock band from Sarajevo, that recorded nine albums between 1973 and 1989. They were the most popular rock band ever to exist in the former Yugoslavia.

Bijelo dugme was founded by Goran Bregović, who spent much of his childhood in a Musical School for violin players, from which he was expelled for "lack of talent". Soon after his expulsion, his mother bought him a guitar, and thus, Bijelo dugme was born. Goran Bregović often admitted that his main motivation for forming the band was because "women were more receptive to musicians". Bregović was the band's sole composer and wrote most of the lyrics, although some of the most popular Bijelo dugme songs weren't written by Bregović, for example: Ima neka tajna veza, Glavni junak jedne knjige, Šta bi dao da si na mom mjestu, Pristao sam biću sve što hoće were written by Duško Trifunović, Da sam pekar, Selma were written by Vlado Dijak, Loše vino by Arsen Dedić etc.
