Miodrag Petrović (Serbian Cyrillic: Миодраг Петровић), best known by his nickname Čkalja (Чкаља) (April 1, 1924 in Kruševac, Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes — October 20, 2003 in Belgrade, Serbia-Montenegro) was a Serbian actor who was one the most popular comedians of former Yugoslavia.
He played in theatre, where he found talent for comedy, especially in plays by Branislav Nušić, his favourite author. However, it was new medium of television that made him famous. Starting from 1959, he appeared in many TV comedy shows: Ljubav na seoski način, Servisna stanica in 1950s, Dežurna ulica, Spavajte mirno, Sačulatac, Crni sneg, Ljudi i papagaji in 1960s, and later, in seventies and eighties, Kamiondžije and Vruć vetar. Since late 1980s he retired.
