Milan Rodić (Милан Родић, ; born 2 April 1991) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Serbian club Red Star Belgrade and the Serbia national football team.

OFK Beograd
Rodić played his first professional match for OFK Beograd on 26 April 2009, against Partizan at the age of 18. Almost two years later, on 25 April 2012, he was named left-back in Sportal's ideal team of Round 26 in the 2011–12 Serbian SuperLiga.

Krylia Sovetov
In August 2015, Rodić signed with Krylia Sovetov. Over the course of two seasons, Rodić got back into competitive shape. After two years with Krylia Sovetov, Rodić thanked the fans and commented that he was happy to play for Krylia, but that he missed his family in Serbia.
