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.[1]

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.
