Lazar Mutap (Serbian: Лазар Мутап; 1775–1815) was a Serbian commander in the Rudnik area in the First Serbian Uprising (1804–13). He was the brother-in-arms of Arsenije Loma and Milić Drinčić, with whom he was promoted to buljubaša (captain) in the beginning of the uprising. Mutap was the top captain in the army of Milan Obrenović, the commander of the Rudnik nahija. He distinguished himself in many battles, such as Karanovac, Sjenica, Prijepolje, on the Drina, Loznica, and Deligrad. He was promoted to vojvoda (general) in 1811. He was in the nearest circle of vojvoda Miloš Obrenović during the outbreak of the Second Serbian Uprising (1815) and led the attack on important town Čačak, during which he was mortally wounded. He was buried in the narthex of the Vujan Monastery.
