Vrčin (Serbian Cyrillic: Врчин) is a suburban settlement of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. It is located in Belgrade's municipality of Grocka.
Vrčin is located southeast of Avala mountain, in the central-eastern part of the municipality, 20 km southeast of Belgrade and 14 km west of the municipal seat of Grocka. It is situated in the spring area of the Bolečica river and is a major crossroad being located on the railway Belgrade-Požarevac, the highway Belgrade-Niš, regional road connecting the highway and the road of Smederevski put (through Zaklopača) and another one connecting the highway and the Belgrade-Kragujevac road.
Vrčin has several neighborhoods of its own. They can be roughly divided into two sections, north and south of the highway.
North section:
South section:
Despite the recent development of workshops and the commercial sector (including the building of a shopping mall in the center of the settlement), the economy is mostly based on agriculture.
Vrčin was once the seat of its own municipality, which was disbanded and incorporated into the municipality of Grocka. From time to time, motions have been made proposing the separation of Vrčin from Grocka, due to the distance from its municipal seat and the fact that it is more populous than Grocka. Recent proposals have called for the split of Vrčin and several settlements from the Voždovac municipality (Zuce, Pinosava, Ripanj, Beli Potok) into a new, sub-Avalan municipality of Avalski Venac.
