The 63rd Parachute Brigade (Serbian: 63. падобранска бригада, romanized: 63. padobranska brigada) is an airborne and special reconnaissance unit, one of two special forces brigades (other being 72nd Brigade for Special Operations) of the Serbian Armed Forces. It is under the command of the General Staff and is based at Niš Air Base.
Formed in 1953, it was the elite unit of both Yugoslav People's Army and Armed Forces of Serbia and Montenegro. Reconfigured in 2006 to a battalion within a newly formed Serbian Armed Forces, the "63rd" regained the status of a brigade in 2019.[1][2][3]
