Milan Janić (Serbian Cyrillic: Милан Јанић; 14 June 1957 in Bačka Palanka - 1 January 2003 in Belgrade) was a Serbian sprint canoeist who competed from the late 1970s to the mid-1980s for Yugoslavia. Competing in two Summer Olympics, he won a silver medal in the K-1 1000 m event at Los Angeles in 1984.

Janić also won six medals at the ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships with three golds (K-1 10000 m: 1978, 1979, 1982) and three silvers (K-1 1000 m: 1978, K-1 1000 m: 1981, 1983).
