Rade Veljović (; born 9 August 1986) is a Serbian former professional footballer who played as a striker.
After coming through the youth system at Red Star Belgrade, Veljović played for Jedinstvo Ub (loan), Napredak Kruševac, and Voždovac, before transferring abroad and signing with Romanian side CFR Cluj in the 2009 winter transfer window.[1] He later spent some time on loan at Unirea Alba Iulia, Târgu Mureș, and Borac Banja Luka. In the summer of 2011, Veljović returned to his homeland on loan to Javor Ivanjica. He also played for Smederevo, Voždovac (second spell), and Radnik Surdulica (no appearances), before retiring from the game.
Veljović was selected by Slobodan Krčmarević to represent Serbia at the 2009 UEFA European Under-21 Championship,[2] but failed to make any appearance at the tournament. He previously earned eight caps for the under-21 team.
