Vogjani (mk|Воѓани, also transliterated ) is a small village situated in North Macedonia. It lies at the end of a cluster of villages including Bela Crkva and Krušeani. The river Crna runs alongside the village. Its position makes it the final village in its part of the Municipality of Krivogaštani (within the Pelagonia statistical region), with bordering Bučin further down the Crna being in the neighbouring Kruševo Municipality. The settlement has an absolute Macedonian majority.
The village has a post office and has a rail link with the municipality (opština) of Demir Hisar. The rail link continues to the village of Sopotnica and was constructed in late 1950. The line was a link between the upper Demir Hisar region and the Bakarno Gumno exchange, which was then included within the rest of the wider rail network.
