Đorđe Bogić (Serbian Cyrillic: Ђорђе Богић; 6 February 1911 – 17 June 1941) was a protopresbyter in the Serbian Orthodox Church and the parish priest of the Orthodox church in Našice.
He was canonized by the Serbian Orthodox Church as Holy Hieromartyr Georgije Bogić due to his brutal murder by Croatian fascists in 1941.
Đorđe was born in Pakrac on February 6, 1911. He completed grammar school in Nova Gradiška and seminary in Sarajevo. On May 25, 1934, Đorđe was ordained a priest in Pakrac. Đorđe then performed his duties in the parishes of Majar and Bolmače, after which he was moved to Našice, where he happened to be at the beginning of World War II.
His afflictions were recorded in the book Magnum Crimen, written by Viktor Novak (Zagreb 1948, pages 641-642):
Đorđe's body remained in the same place the whole night, till the afternoon of the next day. Around 16:00 (4 PM), the local Romani were ordered to take the corpse to Brezik colony and to bury it in the graveyard.
At the regular session of the Holy Assembly of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church in 1998, Protopresbyter Đorđe was canonized, and his name was entered in the list of names of the Serbian Church Saints.
