Saint and Holy Martyr Theodore of Komogovina (Serbian: свети мученик Теодор (Сладић) комоговински, Teodor Komogovinski; 18th century) is a Serbian Orthodox saint (holy martyr), who served as a monk in the monasteries of Komogovina and Moštanica. When the Ottomans burned Moštanica, they killed many monks, including Teodor whom they burnt alive in 1788 after he refused to renounce his Christian faith, as well as many Serbs from surrounding villages. He is remembered on Theodore's Saturday (on the first Saturday of Great Lent).
