Vlado Chernozemski (Bulgarian/Macedonian: Владо Черноземски), born Velichko Dimitrov Kerin, Bulgarian: Величко Димитров Керин; (19 October 1897 – 9 October 1934), was a Bulgarian revolutionary. Also known as "Vlado the Chauffeur", Chernozemski is considered a hero in Bulgaria today, and in his time, in Croat circles and in the Macedonian Bulgarian diaspora. His contribution to the idea of Independent Macedonia has also won him a similar status in some ethnic Macedonian circles today, but the official historiography in North Macedonia still regards him a controversial Bulgarian.
