Tulipa serbica is a species of tulip in the family Liliaceae. It is native to southeastern Serbia and northern Kosovo. It is closely related to Tulipa scardica but displays certain morphological differences in the perianth segments, acute anthers, and staminal filaments.
Tulipa serbica is endemic to Serbia, with a highly restricted natural range limited to just two known locations in the southern part of the country. The species occurs exclusively on serpentine soils, which are characterized by high levels of metals like nickel, chromium and cobalt, and low levels of essential nutrients such as calcium. This specific soil chemistry creates a challenging environment that has led to specialized adaptation in this tulip species. The plant's confirmed distribution includes two primary sites: Mount Rogozna near Donja Kamenica and Beli Laz hill near the village of Srbovac, about 5 km north of Kosovska Mitrovica. These locations are situated on opposite sides of the Ibar River. Both populations are found at similar elevations, roughly 900 metres above sea level, within a broader elevational range of 500–950 metres.
