Đorđe Obradović (Serbian Cyrillic: Ђорђе Обрадовић; d. 1804), known as Đorđe Ćurčija (Ђорђе Ћурчија) or Ćurta (Ћурта), was a commander in the First Serbian Uprising (1804). When he heard of the outbreak against the dahija in Valjevo and Šumadija Obradović was operating as a hajduk (highwayman) and in response he "began to attack the Turks more frequently".[1] He would be purged by his own side before the year was out.
