Vranjina (Montenegrin: Врањина) is a settlement, island, and a hill in Lake Skadar, in the new Zeta Municipality of Montenegro. Until 2022, it was part of Podgorica Municipality.[1]

Until the first half of the 18th century, Vranjina like other islands of Skadar lake, was one of the hills in the Zeta–Skadar lowlands.[2]
