Gligorije "Gliša" Elezović (Vučitrn, Kosovo Vilayet, Ottoman Empire 18 January 1879 — Belgrade, Yugoslavia 17 October 1960) was a Serbian historian and member of the Serbian Academy of Science and Arts.^[1]Also, he was one of the founding members of the Serb Democratic League (see photograph), headed by Bogdan Radenković. In 1931 the Serbian Royal Academy (Srpska kraljevska akademija) established a Committee for the Collection of Eastern Historical and Literary Sources, which employed scholars like Gligorije Elezović and Fahim Barjaktarević who were sent to archives in Istanbul to investigate Ottoman sources related to Serbian history. Elezović was a scholar from Skopje (then South Serbia) with a prolific record of publishing Ottoman documents, and trained in Albanian and Turkish languages. He compiled and published Rečnik kosovo-metohiskog dijalekta (Dictionary of Kosovo-Metohija dialect) in Belgrade in 1932.
