Vasilije (Serbian Cyrillic: Василије) born Vasilije Jovanović-Brkić (Sremski Karlovci, Austrian Empire, 1719 - Imperial Russia, 10 February 1772) was a Serbian metropolitan of Dabar and Bosnia who managed to depose and succeed Patriarch Kirilo II in 1763, and become the new Serbian Patriarch.
Vasilije Brkić, the last Serbian patriarch before the abolition of the Peć Patriarchate in 1766, wrote a report in 1771 for the needs of the Russian Government on the areas known to him that were under the Turks.
