Stefan Vladislav I (Serbian: Стефан Владислав I) (died after 1264) was Serbian king from 1233/4 to 1243, a son of Stefan Prvovenčani and a grandson of Grand Prince Stefan Nemanja and Anna, the daughter of Enrico Dandolo, Doge of Venice. He overthrew his older half-brother, King Stefan Radoslav with help from his father-in-law Ivan Asen II of Bulgaria. He assumed the Serbian throne after being crowned by his uncle, Serbia's Archbishop Saint Sava. In 1237 he transferred the body of Saint Sava from Tărnovo, where he had died, to the monastery of Mileševa. After the death of his father-in-law Ivan Asen II, during the invasion of Batu Khan in Central Europe Stefan Vladislav was overthrown by his younger brother Stefan Uroš I. The new king may have allowed Stefan Vladislav to rule Zeta as governor, and in any case did not completely remove him from an active role in government. By his marriage with Beloslava, daughter of Ivan Asen II of Bulgaria, Stefan Vladislav had the following children:

  1. Desa, a župan
  2. unnamed daughter, who married a Balkan nobleman.
