Doksim Mihailović (Serbian: Доксим Михаиловић; 20 February 1883 – 24 October 1912) was a Macedonian Serb voivode (military commander), originally a teacher, who joined the Serbian Chetnik Organization to fight in Ottoman Macedonia, and then the Balkan Wars (in the army of the Kingdom of Serbia). Originally a teacher, he fought against the Ottomans army and later Bulgarian guerrilla bands in the Kosovo Vilayet.
Doksim was born in Galičnik, a Mijak village. He finished the theological school in Prizren, and was a teacher in his home region until 1904, when he joined the Serbian Chetnik Organization. In January 1905, vojvoda Gligor Sokolović sent Stefan Nedić-Ćela from Babuna to Vranje to bring new Chetniks and Doksim.
He was one of many teachers who were voivodes. He participated in the Battle of Čelopek (1905), which had been glorified as a great victory. In 1906 he lost his teacher wage.
After the guerrilla war, he went to Mount Athos, where he worked as the estate manager of the Hilandar. He returned to Macedonia and married, then worked as a principal at Serbian schools in Gevgelija. After that, he went to Greece and Malta and worked in trade; Doksim spoke Greek and Turkish since youth, and later taught Arabic and Italian.
