The Vojinović family (Serbian Cyrillic: Војиновић, Vojinovići / Војиновићи) was a medieval Serbian noble family that played an important role in the Serbian Empire during the 14th century. Following the death of Emperor Dušan (King 1331–1346, emperor 1346–1355), in the period of the Fall of the Serbian Empire, its representatives, Grand Duke Vojislav Vojinović (c. 1355–1363) and later his cousin Nikola Altomanović Vojinović (1366–1373), were among the strongest regional lords in medieval Serbia.
