Vladimir Jovanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Владимир Јовановић; 28 September 1833 - 3 March 1922) was a Serbian philosopher, political theorist, economist, politician, political writer and activist for the unification of all Serbian lands in the Balkans.
Jovanović was educated at the Universities of Vienna, Berlin in agricultural and economic sciences, and Belgrade, where he stayed at the home of his father's relatives, the brothers Dimitrije and Matija Matić. The Matić house was much more than just a place to stay. It was an educational experience in its own right. In Serbia he was а Professor of Economics at Belgrade's Grande École, Minister of Finance, President of the Serbian Scientific Society and a corresponding member of the Serbian Royal Academy.
In 1863 he went to Britain in order to raise sympathies in Britain for the efforts of Serbia to liberate herself from the Ottoman Empire. On that occasion he published an essay "The Serbian Nation and the Eastern Question". In his travels through Europe he met leading political revolutionaries. On the eve of the 1866 war against Austria, Mazzini said to Vladimir Jovanović that Italy should not rely on France in her struggle against the Habsburgs, but on the South Slavs under Vienna's yoke. Revolutions were to have started simultaneously in Venice and in the Balkan provinces of Austria; the Magyar revolution which was to follow have brought about the end of the Habsburgs.
