Zvezdara (Serbian Cyrillic: Звездара, pronounced [zv̞ě̞zdara]) is an urban neighborhood and one of 17 city municipalities which constitute the city of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. The municipality is geographically hilly and with many forests.
According to the 2011 census results, the municipality has a population of 148,014 inhabitants.
The Zvezdara neighborhood (44°48′00″N 20°30′29″E / 44.8°N 20.508°E) is located south-east of downtown Belgrade. In its original sense, the neighborhood of Zvezdara comprises areas around the Zvezdara Forest, including the neighborhood of Zvezdara II. It borders the neighborhoods of Bogoslovija and Karaburma on the north, Ćalije on the north-east (all in the municipality of Palilula), Mirijevo on the east, Mali Mokri Lug on the south-east, Cvetkova Pijaca and Konjarnik on the south, Lion on the south-west and Bulbuder on the west. The area had a population of 10,095 by the 2002 census of population. However, after the creation of the municipality in 1955, the entire section west and south-west of Zvezdara is today considered as part of it in a narrow sense (Lion, Bulbuder, Lipov Lad, Cvetkova Pijaca, etc.).
