Vojislav (, ) is a Serbian masculine given name, a Slavic dithematic name (of two lexemes), derived from the Slavic words voj ("war, warrior"), and slava ("glory, fame"). Its feminine form is Vojislava.
The first historical encounter of the name is through Serbian ruler Stefan Vojislav, also known as the Prince of the Serbs. He would also found the Serbian dynasty Vojislavljević (992–1091), the second oldest Serbian dynasty after Vlastimirović.
