Andrijaš Vukašinović Mrnjavčević or Andrija Kraljević (?) was a 14th-century Serbian nobility that governed the region of Prilep 1371-1395. His father was the Serbian King Vukašin (co-ruler with Stefan Uroš V). His brother was the Serbian King Marko, who ruled the region of Macedonia (Old Serbia) from 1371-1395.

He held a territory of his older brother Marko's realm, he minted his own coins and had the title of "King" (hence "Kraljević").[1] After the death of Marko in 1394, Andrijaš and his brother Dmitar left Macedonia to settle with the Serbs in Ragusa, there they receive a treasure which their father King Vukašin had left for them. From Ragusa they headed for Hungary where they settled with other Serbs, Dmitar became "Great Zupan of Zarand" and "Royal Commandant of the city of Villagoš" where there were many Serbs.[2]
