Realm of prince Vojislav Vojinović (until 1363) and župan Nikola Altomanović (1367-1373)

Vojislav Vojinović (Serbian: Војислав Војиновић) was a 14th-century Serbian nobleman who held the title "Duke of Gacko" from 1349 to 1363. He was a member of the Serbian noble House of Vojinović. Emperor Dušan the Mighty (r. 1331–55) installed him as a "Duke of Hum" in 1358.

He was born the youngest son of Vojvoda Vojin, who had fought under the command of Stefan of Dečani and Stefan Dušan the Mighty IV. His older brother Altoman ruled a part of Zeta.

He held lands along Zeta's borders between Drina and the coast, including Užice, Gacko, Popovo, Polje, Konavli and Trebinje.

Dubrovnik came to Hungarian rule in 1358; Vojislav plundered the Ragusan territories and sought to recover Ston and its peninsula to the Serbian lands. During the war 1361–1362 between Dubrovnik and Kotor, Vojislav sided with Kotor; peace was signed in 1362 and the borders were restored.

He married Gojislava and had two sons, Dobrivoj and Stefan. His widow inherited the lands of Vojislav and his brother Altoman Vojinović.

He died of the plague on October 25, 1363, and was buried in the Serbian Monastery of Saint Nikola of Debar, in Priboj on the Lim, the inscription on his tomb says: "Great Duke of All Serbian, Greek and maritime lands".
