'''Vojislav''' ({{lang-sr-Cyrl|Војислав}}, {{IPA|sh|ʋǒjislaʋ|pron}}) is a [Serbian](/source/Serbian_language) masculine [given name](/source/given_name), a [Slavic dithematic name](/source/Slavic_dithematic_names) (of two lexemes), derived from the [Slavic](/source/Slavic_languages) words ''voj'' ("war, warrior"), and ''slava'' ("glory, fame"). Its feminine form is ''[Vojislava](/source/Vojislava_(disambiguation))''.  

The first historical encounter of the name is through Serbian ruler [Stefan Vojislav](/source/Stefan_Vojislav), also known as the ''Prince of the Serbs.'' He would also found the Serbian dynasty [Vojislavljević](/source/Vojislavljevi%C4%87_dynasty) (992–1091), the second oldest Serbian dynasty after [Vlastimirović](/source/Vlastimirovi%C4%87_dynasty).
