Vujica Vulićević (Serbian Cyrillic: Вујица Вулићевић; 1773–1828) was a Serbian voivode (military commander) in the First Serbian Uprising of the Serbian Revolution, led by Grand Leader Karađorđe against the Ottoman Empire. He held the rank of Obor-knez. He was also the kum (godfather) of Karađorđe, but betrayed him on behalf of Miloš Obrenović, the rival Prince.
Vujica was born in the village of Azanja, in Smederevska Palanka, then part of the Sanjak of Smederevo, an Ottoman province covering central Serbia. His eldest brother was voivode Đuša Vulićević, the district holder of Smederevo. His son, Petar, was married to the sister of Ljubica Vukomanović, the wife of Miloš Obrenović.
He was part of the First Serbian Uprising since the start. Among his subordinates, were Djordje Zagla.
In December 1806, voivodes Vujica, Mladen Milovanovic and Stanoje Glavas commanded an army of 18,000 soldiers to defend at the Battle of Deligrad. The fight ended in Serbian victory, with Ibrahim Bushati, pasha of Shkodër, signing a 6-week truce.
Together with voivode Čolak-Anta Simeonović, he led Karađorđe's offensive from Nikšić to Montenegro in May 1809.
