Veternik () is a suburban settlement of the city of Novi Sad, Serbia. Over the years, especially in the 1990s, it grew with size and inhabitants thus merging with Futog to the west and Novi Sad to the east.
==Name== 300px|thumb|Main road in Veternik (Novi Sad-[[Futog-Bačka Palanka)]] The settlement was named in honour of the assault of the Serbian army in the Veternik mountain area during the breach of the Macedonian front in World War I. It was first called Novi Veternik ("New Veternik"), but was later changed into Veternik. The name Veternik itself means "windy" in Serbian. In Serbian Cyrillic, the settlement is known as Ветерник (in Serbian Latin as Veternik) and in Hungarian as Hadikliget.
