Denko Krstić

Denko Krstić (, ; September 1824 – 1882) was a merchant from Kumanovo and Ottoman Serb activist. He was one of the most influential in Kumanovo during his time, and a wealthy man.

Life Krstić was born in either September 1824 or 1826, in the village of Mlado Nagoričane at the time part of the Sanjak of Üsküp, Ottoman Empire (now Staro Nagoričane, North Macedonia). He was an ethnic Serb and Serbian patriot.

In 1843 he was briefly a teacher of Church Slavonic and Serbian in Kumanovo, using textbooks from Belgrade. One of his students was Tasa Civković, a later Ottoman Serb patron. Denko Krstić had built an ossuary, and a "decree confirmed that it belonged to the Serbs" (Patriarchists), thus the local church requested that it "must stay Serb" (Patriarchate). This was criticized by the Bulgarian herald. He was involved in the Kumanovo Uprising (1878).
