Ljubiša Stojanović "Louis" (Љубиша Стојановић "Луис") is a Serbian singer, born in Leskovac on June 25, 1952. He is known for his unique image and musical style and has been in the music business since 1970. His stage name Louis originated from when he was nine and successfully performed Louis Armstrong's songs. He graduated from the music high school in Niš. He got his B.A. in Music from the Faculty of Music in Belgrade, majoring in voice and composing with arrangement and folklore.

He was among the first to combine jazz with Serbia's folklore.

In 1980 he recorded his first record titled "Ne Kuni me, Ne Ruži me, Majko" (Do Not Scold Me, Do Not Rebuke Me, Mother), gaining high sales.

Together with the Serbian band Flamingosi, he won the Beovizija 2006 festival, qualifying for the 2006 Evropesma. He is also a winner of many other prizes.
