Gibanica (Serbian Cyrillic: гибаница), pron. gheebanitsa, is a traditional Balkan pastry dish, usually made with white cheese, now popular throughout the Balkans. Recipes can range from sweet to savoury, and from the very simple and "homey" to festive and elaborate multi-layered cakes.

Gibanica is a traditional Serbian dish. The word is a derivative of Serbian verb "гибати" (gibati), which means to bind, to move in a winding fashion.

It is one of the most popular and recognizable pastry dishes from the Balkans, whether served on festive occasions, or as a comforting family snack.

Many varieties of gibanica, and related dishes, can be found throughout the Balkans; besides Serbia, different gibanica are known as part of the national cuisines of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, the Republic of Macedonia, Greece, and Bulgaria; where it is usually called Banitsa (баница).

From the basic gibanica recipe, many local specialties have evolved. Prekmurska gibanica, for example, is a "fancy" multi-layered cake from Slovenia, served as a dessert course on festive occasions. Međimurska gibanica, from the neighbouring Medimurje region of Croatia, is a closely related but simpler and less "formal" dish. Another gibanica variety, named Prleška gibanica, is known from Prlekija to the west of the Mur River.
