The Hercegovačka Gračanica Monastery (Serbian: Манастир Херцеговачка Грачаница, romanizedManastir Hercegovačka Gračanica) is a Serbian Orthodox monastery located in Trebinje, in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Largely a copy of the Gračanica monastery in Kosovo, it was completed in 2000. The monastery is located above the city, on the historic Crkvina Hill, and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary.[1]
