Cvetko Rajović (Serbian Cyrillic: Цветко Рајовић; Vukovići, Ravno, 1793 – Belgrade, 4 May 1873) was a Serbian judge and politician who held the post of Prime Minister of Serbia, Minister of Internal Affairs and Minister of Foreign Affairs. Rajović was known as a staunch Obrenović dynasty supporter and the culprit of several plots aimed against the Karađorđević dynasty. He went on a mission with Avram Petronijević to Saint Petersburg in 1830 to purchase a new state printing press, which led to publishing of the official newspaper Novine Serbske edited by Dimitrije Davidović in early 1834.
