Porodična Manufaktura Crnog Hleba (Serbian Cyrillic: Породична Мануфактура Црног Хлеба; trans. Rye Bread Family Manufacture) was a Yugoslav rock band and a theatrical troupe formed in Belgrade in 1968.

The band was formed by vocalist and guitarist Maja de Rado, guitarist Jugoslav Vlahović and guitarist Slobodan Kuzmanović, who were later joined by double bass player Petar Pavišić. The band performed acoustic music and was one of the pioneers of the Yugoslav acoustic rock scene. They held happenings in Atelje 212 theatre in Belgrade, gaining the attention of the public with songs written by their teenage frontress. They released their only studio album in 1974, disbanding a year later. After the group ended their activity, Vlahović would go on to become one of the most notable caricaturists and album cover designers in Yugoslavia.
