Spiridon "Špiro" Bocarić (Serbian Cyrillic: Спиридон Шпиро Боцарић; 24 May 1876 – 19 July 1941) was a Serb painter.[1]

In addition to a large number of portraits, he also painted several compositions featuring scenes from national history.[2]

Bocarić was also one of the pioneers of cinematography of modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina.[3]

He was killed during the Genocide of Serbs by fascist Ustashe regime on 19 July 1941 at the Jadovno concentration camp near Gospić and his body was thrown in the Šaran pit.[4]
