Angelina Branković (Albanian: Angjelina Arianiti, Serbian Cyrillic: Ангелина Бранковић, Church Slavonic: Преподобная Ангели́на Сербская (Бра́нкович), королева;[1] ca. 1440–1520), née Arianiti, was an Albanian princess who served as Despotess Consort of Serbia through her marriage to Despot Stefan Branković (r. 1458–1459). She was a daughter of Prince Gjergj Arianiti, an important military leader against Ottoman invasion, and Princess Maria Muzaka, his first wife. For her pious life she was proclaimed a saint and venerated as such by the Serbian Orthodox Church as Venerable Mother Angelina (Serbian: Serbian Cyrillic: Преподобна мати Ангелина / Serbian: Prepodobna mati Angelina[a]).
