Veliki vojvoda

Veliki vojvoda (Serbian Cyrillic: велики војвода; from veliki = great and vojvoda = duke) was a military and noble title in use during the Middle Ages and the Modern period in the Western Balkans. It is often translated into "Grand duke".

veliki vojvoda was a title used in Serbia in the Middle Ages and the Kingdom of Bosnia (1380–1448).

It signified superiority over the other vojvode. The title-holder commanded the army on occasions when the monarch did not attend in military campaigns, usually with lesser important military operations inside the country, or when a detachment was sent to aid allies. Another term used for the title was "standard-bearer" (stegonoša, Latin: vexilifer).

There are also mentions of the title-holders in Serbian epic poetry regarding the Battle of Kosovo, such as Dimitrije.

The title was adopted in the Prince-Bishopric of Montenegro. Mirko Petrović-Njegoš bore the title, as "Grand Duke of Grahovo".
