Konstantin Jovanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Константин Јовановић; Bulgarian: Константин Йованович; 13 January 1849 – 15 February 1923) was an Austrian/Austro–Hungarian, Serbian and Bulgarian architect known for providing the original designs of the National Assembly of Bulgaria and National Assembly of Serbia buildings.
Jovanović was born in Vienna, capital of the Austrian Empire, to first Serbian photographer Anastas Jovanović, a lithographer and early photographer from Vratsa (in modern Bulgaria), who was superintendent of the Serbian royal court in Belgrade under Prince Michael.
Konstantin Jovanović finished a classical high school in Vienna and graduated from the Zürich Polytechnic in Switzerland in 1870 with honours. After his graduation, he visited Italy, where he studied Italian Renaissance art first-hand.
Jovanović commenced his career as an architect in Vienna, though he was most active in the Kingdom of Serbia and the Principality of Bulgaria. His architectural style was said to draw heavily from that of German architect Gottfried Semper (1803–1879), under whom he studied in Zürich.
