Zabranjeno pušenje (phrase literally meaning "Smoking is forbidden", often translated as "No Smoking") is a Bosnian (ex-Yugoslavian) garage rock band founded in the 1980s in Sarajevo, parts of which are now separately residing and working in Belgrade and Zagreb.

During a time when the rest of the ex-Yugoslav music scene was following the trends of Europe at the time (chiefly punk rock and New Wave), Zabranjeno pušenje were part of a unique rock movement centered in Sarajevo that forged its own path. This movement, for the most part, centered on simple, youthful, garage rock, with folk influences and a distinct Sarajevo urban feel called Novi primitivizam (New primitivism).
