U Škripcu (Serbian Cyrillic: У Шкрипцу; trans. In Dire Straits) was a Yugoslav rock band formed in Belgrade in 1980.

The band was formed in 1980 by Milan Delčić "Delča" (vocals), Aleksandar Vasiljević "Vasa" (guitar) and Zoran Vulović "Vule" (keyboards), the lineup soon being expanded with Aleksandar Lukić (bass guitar) and Miloš Obrenović (drums). At the time of their formation, the band was a part of the Yugoslav new wave scene, attracting the attention of the public with their artistic live performances and appearing on the seminal 1981 various artists compilation album Artistička radna akcija. With the debut album release, the 1982 Godine ljubavi, the band moved towards a more experimental post-punk sound, before achieving nationwide commercial success with the release of the 1983 album O je! and mini album Nove godine!, heavily influenced by New Romanticism. The original lineup recorded one more album, the synth-pop-oriented Budimo zajedno, which failed to repeat the commercial success of its predecessors, causing the band to disband in 1985.

In 1986, Vulović and Delčić reformed the band, but the latter soon left, so the new lineup, featuring the vocalist Aleksandar Tabaš, recorded the fourth studio album, power pop-influenced U Škripcu. The album was not commercially successful, causing the band to disband in 1988. The following year, Vulović reunited with Delčić and Vasiljević, Lukić on guitar, bassist Dejan Škopelja, and drummer Ratko Ljubičić. The lineup recorded the critically acclaimed fifth studio album Izgleda da mi smo sami, after which the band, although not officially announcing their disbandment, ended their activity with the outbreak of Yugoslav Wars. During the following years, they would reunite for major events only, like their performance at the 1996–1997 protests. Following the dibandment, Vulović became a producer and manager, Delčić pursued a solo career with his band Sklekovi, and Vasiljević and Lukić became a part of the supergroup Familija.

In 2006, the original lineup reunited at a Delča i Sklekovi concert, the recording of which was released on the 2008 live album Jubilarnih 20 i nešto godina, under the moniker Delča a i U Škripcu (Delča and also U Škripcu).
