Lidija Vukićević (Serbian: Лидија Вукићевић) (born July 20, 1962 in Kraljevo, PR Serbia, FPR Yugoslavia) is a Serbian film and TV actress.
From 2004 until 2012, she was also politically involved with the Serbian Radical Party (SRS), serving as their MP in the Serbian parliament from 2007 until 2012.
Best known for playing Violeta, daughter of the central Popadić family on hugely popular Bolji život soap opera, Vukićević's acting career peaked throughout mid-to-late 1980s and early 1990s.
Her career in movies was launched in 1985 when she got cast in Žikina dinastija, seventh installment of the popular folksy comedy film series Lude godine. Being 22 at the time, Vukićević played the role of sexy house maid Lilika.
This exposure led to similar roles in other movies of the same genre such as Špijun na štiklama and Vampiri su među nama. In all of these movies she was mostly typecast as a sexpot.
In 2004 Vukićević joined the opposition Serbian Radical Party (SRS), a political organization whose leader Vojislav Šešelj had already been detained in The Hague for over a year, awaiting trial at the international criminal tribunal. In his absence, the party that won 27.62% of the popular vote at the latest parliamentary election and held 82 seats, more than any other individual party in Serbia at the time, was led by its high-ranking officials Tomislav Nikolić, Aleksandar Vučić, and Dragan Todorović.
