Gradimir Smudja (Serbian: Градимир Смуђа, born in Novi Sad, 1956) is a Serbian cartoonist/painter in Italy and France. He is currently resident of Lucca, Tuscany, (Italy).

Smudja only recently published an acclaimed comic "Le Cabaret des Muses" (first called "Le Bordel des Muses"; tomes: I, II, III, IV), telling the life story of the French masterpainter Toulouse-Lautrec. The comic is being sold all over Europe and has been published in French, Dutch, Spanish, Serbian, German, Hungarian, Italian and other languages.
