Sergej Kraigher (30 May 1914 – 17 January 2001) was a Yugoslav Communist politician from Slovenia who served as the President of the Presidency of Yugoslavia from 1981 to 1982.
Kraigher was born in Postojna, Austria-Hungary (now in Slovenia). His uncle, Lojz Kraigher, was a prominent writer and left wing activist; his cousin, Boris Kraigher, also became an influential Communist politician. Sergej rose through the ranks of the Communist Party of Slovenia in the 1940s. He fought in the partisan resistance. He became chairman of the People's Assembly of Slovenia in 1967. He held that position until 1974, and then served as President of the Presidency of Slovenia from 1974 to 1979. Following the death of Edvard Kardelj, Kraigher became the Slovenian member of the collective presidency of Yugoslavia and served as President of Yugoslavia from 1981 to 1982. Kraigher is also known as the chairman of Kraigher Commission which was set up by the government of Yugoslavia to advise and give proposals in solving the Yugoslavian economic crisis which started to develop in the early to mid-1980s. The commission report was the basis of a reform package that was to be implemented by the Milka Planinc cabinet but it never happened.
He died in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
