The Miladinov Brothers (Братя Миладинови), Dimitar Miladinov (1810-1862) and Konstantin Miladinov (1830-1862), were Bulgarian poets and folklorists, authors of the most important collection of Bulgarian folk songs in the 19th century, Bulgarian Folk Songs (1861). The collection was written in the vernacular of Struga (present-day Republic of Macedonia) and includes a total of 665 songs and 23,559 verses.
Macedonian linguists claim that the Miladinov Brothers were Macedonian Slavs and that the collection is of Macedonian songs. Bulgarian Folk Songs has been re-printed many times in the Republic of Macedonia under an edited name, Collection, with careful editions of the references to Bulgaria and Bulgaria in the text.
