Andrija Raičević ( - after 1673) was a Serbian iconographer and miniaturist who worked during the Ottoman occupation of Southeastern Europe.

Raičević was born in Tolac, Sanjak of Herzegovina, Ottoman Empire. He undertook commissions for the Patriarchate of Peć and went to Bosnia and Herzegovina to paint icons for the iconostasis in the Church of the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel in Sarajevo. He is noted for having painted Saint Nicholas in an abstract but traditional form. His icon is not influenced by Western art; St. Nicholas is presented in the Byzantine art style of the twelfth century and those that followed suit. All of his commissions came from the Patriarchate (Peć) or from high-ranking Serbian officials. Over time, these two works in the same connection became especially recognizable by Raičević's extraordinary illustrations. Today, Andrija Raičević's works are on display in the Museum of the Serbian Orthodox Church and Heritage museum Pljevlja (Zavičajni muzej Pljevlja).

He died in Peć.
