Dimitrije (, ; born Dimitrije Pavlović; 28 October 1846 – 6 April 1930) was the 39th Serbian Patriarch and the first Patriarch of the reunified Serbian Orthodox Church, serving from 1920 until his death in 1930. He was appointed Bishop of Niš in 1884 and held that post until 1889. He became Bishop of Šabac and Valjevo in 1898 and held that post until 1905.
