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

The monastery is located above the town, on the historic Crkvina Hill.^[1] Crkvina Hill has expansive views of Trebinje and has been a place of pilgrimage throughout the ages.

At the current site of Hercegovacka Gračanica there was once the Church of Saint Michael, the medieval endowment of Serbian King Milutin.^[2]

Largely a copy of the Gračanica monastery in Kosovo, Hercegovačka Gračanica was built according to the last wish of the prominent poet and diplomat Jovan Dučić, who wanted to be buried on a hill above Trebinje in a church like "one in Kosovo".^[3] Dučić's relics were transferred from United States to Hercegovačka Gračanica in 2000.^[4]
