Vikentije Popović-Hadžilavić (Serbian Cyrillic: Хаџи-Лавић или Хаџилавић, Janjevo, Ottoman Empire, c. 1650 – Sremski Karlovci, Habsburg monarchy, 23 October 1725) was metropolitan of the Serbian Orthodox Metropolitanate of Karlovci, and the highest-ranking prelate of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the Habsburg Monarchy, from 1713 to 1725.[1][2]

Metropolitan Vikentije, the son of daskal (teacher) Lav Popović, was born in Janjevo in the

Patriarchal Monastery of Peć. Like all of the early metropolitans of Karlovci, Vikentije also spent his early career in the Patriarchate of Peć where he received his education.[3]

In January 1708. he was elected as Eastern Orthodox

Austro-Turkish War (1716-1718), forcing him to transfer metropolitan residence to Sremski Karlovci, thus creating the base for change of title from Metropolitanate of Krušedol to Metropolitanate of Karlovci.[4]
