The coat of arms of the Republic of Serbia (Serbian: грб Републике Србије, romanized: grb Republike Srbije) consists of two main heraldic symbols which represent the identity of the Serbian state and Serbian people across the centuries: the Serbian eagle (a silver double-headed eagle adopted from the Nemanjić dynasty) and the Serbian cross (or cross with firesteels).^[1][2][3] The coat of arms also features the Serbian historical crown; while unusual for republics, it is not unprecedented, as can be seen in coat of arms of numerous European countries with republican form of government (Russia, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Montenegro, and San Marino). However, Serbia's coat of arms still retains strong monarchist elements absent from the other republics, including the mantle and pavillon found in the greater coat of arms of some modern and many historical monarchies.

The coat of arms is used in the form of the greater coat of arms (Велики грб / Veliki grb) and lesser coat of arms (Мали грб / Mali grb), as provided by the Article 7 of the Constitution of Serbia.
