thumb|Kozarčanka by Georgij "Žorž" Skrigin. The subject of the photo is Milja Marin (). ' () is a World War II photograph that became iconic in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Shot by Yugoslav artistic photographer Georgij "Žorž" Skrigin in northern Bosnia during the winter of 1943–44, it shows a smiling female Partisan wearing a Titovka cap and with an MP-40 slung over her shoulder.
The subject of the portrait was Milja Marin', a Bosnian Serb from a village at the foot of Mount Kozara. Kozarčanka was featured in widely circulated school textbooks, war monographs and posters, as well as on the cover of Merlin's 1986 album Teško meni sa tobom (a još teže bez tebe). Milja's identity as the subject of the photograph was not widely known in Socialist Yugoslavia.
