Vukica Mitrović Šunja (1912–1941) was a communist, revolutionary and national hero of SFR Yugoslavia. Vukica was born in Sveti Stefan, Montenegro and moved to Belgrade in her early twenties. She worked in the press room of the communist newspaper Komunist and in 1933 joined the Communist Party of Yugoslavia. In 1936, she joined the local branch of the communist party in Belgrade, where she was very active in the planning of diversionary activities. The same year she became a member of the steering committee for the textile workers union. Vukica was arrested by the police on 1 October 1941, after an informant led them to an apartment serving as a meeting place for communist party members. She was subjected to two and a half months of torture, during which time she refused to give up any information. She was executed by fascists on 17 December, 1941, at the Banjica concentration camp in Belgrade.
