Bankovac () is a village in Serbia situated in the municipality of Aleksinac, in the Nišava District. The population of the village is 178 people with Serbs as supermajority according to the 2002 census. According to the 1991 census it had 205 inhabitants.
==Name== Before the Second World War, this village was named Beli Breg. After the war, the villagers of the Assembly decided to change the name of the settlement Bankovac, after the family name Banković, which had the strongest presence over all other family names in the town. On the right bank of the South Morava river is the old settlement of Beli Breg, which encountered a problem with postal delivery. All mail-pieces arrived at the site of the old village. This was the main reason for changing the name of the town.
