The Voljavča Monastery (Serbian Cyrillic: Манастир Вољавча) is a Serbian Orthodox monastery located on the northeastern slopes of Mount Rudnik, near the village of Stragari in central Serbia.

The monastery church, dedicated to saints Michael and Gabriel, was an endowment of Mihailo Končinović, a nobleman of Despot Stefan Lazarević (r. 1402–27), reconstructed at the beginning of the 15th century on the ruins of an older church dating to 1050.
