Vera Jocić (Serbian: Вера Јоцић; Macedonian: Вера Јоциќ; 21 August 1923 – 22 May 1944) was a Yugoslav partisan and People's Hero of Yugoslavia.[1]

She was born in the village of Sindjelić, Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, in a Serbian family and fought in the Yugoslav People's Liberation War. She was wounded in Sasa near Kriva Palanka (in the Bulgarian occupation zone of Yugoslavia), where she died.[2] She inspired the famous song "Eyes" by Aco Šopov.
