Jovan Hadžić (Serbian Cyrillic: Јован Хаџић, pseudonym Miloš Svetić; Sombor, 8 September 1799 – Novi Sad, 28 April 1869) was a Serbian writer, legislator and the founder of Matica Srpska. He signed his literary work as Miloš Svetić and was an influential figure in the drafting of the Civil and Criminal Code of Serbia in 1844. Serbia is the fourth modern-day European country after France, Austria and the Netherlands to have a codified legal system because of Hadžić's work.
