Andrija Mirosavljević

Andrija Mirosavljević or Andrija of Hum was a 13th-century Serbian royalty, that held lands of Hum, in the Principality of Serbia. He was titled "Prince of the Seaside and Duke of Lower Zahumlje".

His father was Miroslav of Hum, of the House of Vojislavljević, his mother was a sister of Ban Kulin of Bosnia.

He was entitled as the heir of Miroslav, but the Hum nobles choose his brother Petar as Prince of Hum. Petar exiled Andrija and Miroslav's widow, Andrija fled to Rascia, to the court of Stefan Nemanjić. At the meantime, Petar fought successfully with neighbouring Bosnia and Croatia. Stefan Nemanjić sided with Andrija and went to war and secured Hum and Popovo field for Andrija sometime after his ascession. Petar was defeated and crossed the Neretva, continuing to rule the west and north of the Neretva, which had before 1203 been briefly occupated by Andrew II of Hungary. Stefan gave the titular and supreme rule of Hum to his son Radoslav, Andrija initially held the district of Popovo with the coastal lands of Hum, including Ston. By agreement, when Radoslav died, the lands were bound to Andrija.

He had a son, Radoslav (named after Stefan Radoslav)
