Latinka Perović (Serbian Cyrillic: Латинка Перовић; 4 October 1933 – 12 December 2022) was a Yugoslav communist leader, historian and politician.
During the existence of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Perović was a secretary general of the League of Communists of Serbia (SKS) in the period between 1968 and 1972.
During the 1990s breakup of Yugoslavia and the Yugoslav Wars, Perović was one of the sharpest critics of Serbian nationalism, especially Slobodan Milošević and his regime.
[1] She was considered the most influential woman in Serbia then and the only one who did not gain her position based on marriage with a more powerful man than herself, but rather through her intelligence, competence and ambition.
In 1972, Marko Nikezić (the president of the CC of the LCS) and Perović were removed from their positions because Josip Broz Tito considered their views too liberal.
