Vikentije Jovanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Викентије Јовановић; Szentendre 1689 – Belgrade June 6 1737) was the Serbian Orthodox Metropolitan of Karlovci from 1732 to 1737 as Vikentije II. During his diplomatic mission in Vienna in 1734 he was given permission by Emperor Charles VI to establish a hussar regiment constituted solely of Serbs and Croats. It was officially named Illyrian-Rascian regiment and inaugurated on June 16 1735 in a grand ceremony officiated by Vikentije.
