Lazar Komarcic (Komartica, Pljevlja, 9 January 1839 - Belgrade, Kingdom of Serbia, 9 January 1909) was a Serbian pioneer science-fiction writer.
He was a novelist, playwright and best known for his profound influence on what was to become later the literary genres of science fiction and crime novels.
He was the most read author during the turn of the century, according to literary critic Jovan Skerlic.
Unfortunately, science fiction and crime novel writing at the beginning of the 20th century was not considered a literary pursuit and as time passed he was forgotten until the 1970s when his works were revived.
