Vojvodina (, , ), officially the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina (), is an autonomous province in northern Serbia. It encompasses the historical and geographical regions of Bačka, Banat, Syrmia, and northernmost part of Mačva, lying to the north of the national capital Belgrade and the Sava and Danube rivers.

==Etymology== Vojvodina is the Serbian word for voivodeship, a type of duchy overseen by a voivode. Its original historical name was Serbian Vojvodina ("Serbian Voivodeship"), a short-lived self-proclaimed autonomous province within the Austrian Empire. The Serbian Voivodeship, a precursor to modern Vojvodina, was an Austrian province from 1849 to 1860. The Serbian language uses two more varieties of the word vojvodina. These varieties are vojvodovina (војводовина), and vojvodstvo (војводство), the latter being an equivalent to the Polish word for province, województwo (voivodeship).
