Janko Vukovic, sometimes spelt Janko Vukovich or von Vukovich, also known as Janko Vukovic de Podkapelski or Janko Vukovic-Podkapelski (27 September 1871 – 1 November 1918) was a Croatian naval officer who served in the Austro-Hungarian Navy and - amidst its collapse - for a brief period as commander of the fleet of the fledgling State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs.
Vukovic saw action in World War I and was appointed commander of the fleet in October 1918 as the Austria-Hungary disintegrated and the entire navy was handed over to the fledgling State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs.
He died on board the SMS Viribus Unitis, sunk by Italian commandos.
