Lazar Serdanović (Serbian: Лазар Сердановић; 1744 in Sombor, Habsburg monarchy – 1799 in Sombor, Habsburg Monarchy) was a Serbian painter. He was part of a group of painters representative of the high Baroque style, consisting of Grigorije Davidović-Obšić, Mojsije Subotić, Grigorije Jezdimirović and himself.[1]

Little known Sombor painter from the Baroque period, Lazar Serdanović, was active mostly in Orthodox churches in Srem and Slavonia.[2] He is most remembered for the icons he painted with colleagues Teodor Kračun[3] and Jovan Isailović (Sr.) in Sombor's Serbian Orthodox Church of St. George (Crkva Svetog Đorđa) which is in mixed Baroque, Roccoco, and Classic styles.[4] He also painted the iconostasis in a Serbian church in Mikluševcima, near Vukovar, in the 1770s.[2]
