NIN (Serbian Cyrillic: НИН) is a weekly newsmagazine published in Belgrade, Serbia. Its name is an acronym for Nedeljne informativne novine (Недељне информативне новине) which roughly translates into Weekly Informative Newspaper.

As of 2007, the magazine has 35 employees.
NIN is currently preparing for privatization. A 60.9% stake in the magazine will be auctioned off on September 29, 2007 with starting price set at RSD13.2 million (~ €170,000).
The NIN Literary Award
In January every year, NIN's special jury vote on what they feel was the best novel released during the previous year and award it with Ninova nagrada (Нинова награда, the NIN Prize), which has over the years become one of the highest honours for contemporary Serbian authors. The award is also very relevant commercially as its recipients usually go on to become bestsellers.
