Rajac is a mountain in western Serbia. The summit of the mountain lies at 848 metres (2,782 ft).

The mountain is touristically the best developed and most accessible in the vicinity of Belgrade. On Rajac the battle of Kolubara was fought during World War I. Trenches dug by the Serbian army in November 1914 are still visible.[1]
