Mirko Đorđević (Serbian-Cyrillic: Мирко Ђорђевић; 29 November 1938, Brod – 18 April 2014, Šimanovci) was a Serbian publicist and editorial-staff-member of Republika magazine. Although Christian, he was heterodox in his Christology, a critic of the Serbian Orthodox Church, its nationalism and advocate for secularism. Đorđević was an opponent of political intolerances in Serbian society.
Đorđević was born in the Belčine mahala, located in the Crna Trava municipality, a part of the Jablanica District, on 29 November 1938[1] to Čedomir and Rajinka Đorđević. In 1964, Đorđević graduated from the University of Belgrade Faculty of Philology, having previously studied Yugoslavian Literature. He received his master's degree in 1975 and became a Serbo-Croatian teacher in a Šimanovci primary school. He also taught Serbo-Croatian Language and Literature at the Belgrade Pedagogical Academy before he had retired.
He was married to Mirjana, with whom he had two children, a son and a daughter, respectively called Aleksandar and Ksenija. Đorđević died in 2014, aged 75.
