Filip Hristić (Serbian Cyrillic: Филип Христић; 27 March 1819, Belgrade – 29 January 1905, Menton, France) was Prince's Representative (President of the Government of Serbia), Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Education, Governor of National Bank, permanent Extraordinary Minister Plenipotentiary (ambassador) of Serbia in Constantinople, Vienna, Berlin and London, and an honorary member of the Serbian Royal Academy.
Filip Hristić was born on 15 March 1819 (Old Style). He was the son of Karađorđe's lieutenant Hrista Đorđević, originally from Samokov.
Since he lost his father at an early age, Filip Hristić was adopted, lived and studied with the Serbian Metropolitan Melentije Pavlović, who was the brother of the uncle of Toma Vučić-Perišić. He continued his education as a companion of the sons of Prince Miloš Obrenović, Milan and Mihailo. In Belgrade, he finished the Lyceum in 1836, and continued his education with a state scholarship abroad in Vienna and Paris, on Sorbonne, where he was granted Ph.D in law.
Hristić was hired in public administration at the end of the reign of Prince Aleksandar Karađorđevic, as commissioner of the Danube Commission. He also became a member of Council and, after returning of Prince Miloš Obrenović to power, became his personal secretary (1858–1860).
