Dimče Sarvanov (Bulgarian, Димче Сарванов; born: Mogila, Ottoman Empire, died: Nošpal, Ottoman Empire, January 4, 1908), also known as Dimče Mogilčeto, Dimče Sarvanov Mogilčeto) was a revolutionary and a member of the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO). Sarvanov is considered an ethnic Macedonian in the Republic of Macedonia, and is considered an ethnic Bulgarian in Bulgaria.

Sarvanov was born in Mogila (now in the Republic of Macedonia) in 1879. He joined Georgi Sugarev's group within IMRO, and fought against Ottoman rule in the Bitola and Mariovo districts. During the Ilinden–Preobrazhenie Uprising, Sarvanov fought in the Pelister and Prespa districts. After the death of Sugarev, Sarvanov continued fighting "Greek propaganda".

On January 4, 1908 Sarvanov fell into an Ottoman ambush in the village of Nošpal (close to Bitola in present-day Republic of Macedonia), and rather than allowing himself to fall into Turkish hands, committed suicide.
