Bogdan Žerajić (Serbian Cyrillic: Богдан Жерајић; 1 February 1886 – 15 June 1910) was a Herzegovinian Serb student of the Faculty of Law at the University of Zagreb.

[3] Žerajić's friendship with Vladimir Gaćinović and his attempted assassination of Varešanin also inspired the members of the revolutionary movement Young Bosnia, including Gavrilo Princip.

"[9] On 15 June 1910, Žerajić attempted to assassinate Varešanin on the day of opening of the Austro-Hungarian Diet of Bosnia because he believed it was illegal and illegitimate.

[14] An evening before the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Gavrilo Princip, Čabrinović and Ilić visited the grave of Žerajić for the last time.

He who wants to die, let him live", was quoted by Gavrilo Princip in one of the songs he wrote (Serbian: Ал право је рекао пре Жерајић, соко сиви: Ко хоће да живи, нек мре, Ко хоће да мре, нек живи).

[17][18] Tačno kaže dr. Branko Čubrilović, sam aktivni omladinac, iz jedne borbene nacionalne porodice, da je na bosansku omladinu najviše delovao primer atentata Bogdana Žerajića, izvedenog iz sopstvene iniciative, kao delo dubokog ličnog revolta i kao najrečitiji protest protiv aneksije.
