Božidar Vuković (Serbian Cyrillic: Божидар Вуковић, Italian: Dionisio della Vecchia, Latin: Dionisius a Vetula; c. 1460 — c. 1539/1540) was one of the first publishers and editors of Serbian printed books. Born in Podgorica, in medieval Zeta (in modern Montenegro), he migrated to Italy and founded the famous Vuković printing house in Venice. His printing house was operational over two periods. In the first period, 1519–21, three books were printed (Psalter, Liturgijar, and Molitvenik or Zbornik). In the second period, 1536–40, two books were printed (2nd edition of Molitvenik or Zbornik, and praznični Minej or Sabornik).
