Jovan Kantul (Serbian Cyrillic: Јован Кантул, fl.
1592 – d. 1614), sometimes numbered Jovan II was the Archbishop of Peć and Serbian Patriarch, the spiritual leader of the Serbian Orthodox Church, from 1592 until his death in 1614.
He planned a major revolt in the Ottoman Balkans, with Grdan, the vojvoda of Nikšić, asking the pope for aid (see Serb Uprising of 1596–97).
Owing to his activities for planning a Serbian revolt, he was arrested and put on trial in Istanbul in 1612.
He was found guilty of treason and was executed two years later (1614).
