Života Panić (Serbian Cyrillic: Живота Панић) (November 3 1933, Gornja Crnisava, Kingdom of YugoslaviaNovember 19 2003, Belgrade, (former) Republic of Serbia and Montenegro) was the last acting minister of defense and army chief of staff in the Yugoslav government.

Života Panić held the rank of General, he was in charge of the Yugoslav people's army after the resignation of general Blagoje Adžić in 1992. Panić was in office from until the dissolution of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1992. Panić held the rank of Chief of Staff in the successor to SFRY, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia until 1993 when he was sacked for scandals relating to his son Goran Panić who was supplying the army at supposed inflated prices.

Panić graduated from Yugoslavian military school as a tank commander and gradually rose through the ranks of the Yugoslav People's Army through the 1970s and 1980s. He was given authority over the 1st Army District (Belgrade) and was the senior officer in charge of the units which fought in the battle of Vukovar.
