Božina M. Ivanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Божина М. Ивановић) (1931 – 10 October 2002) was a Montenegrin anthropologist and politician.^[1] He was a member of Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts, Jevrem Brkovic's private Doclean Academy of Sciences and Arts and president of Matica crnogorska. He was a professor at University of Montenegro's Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.

For years Ivanović steadily moved up the ladder in the Montenegrin branch of League of Communists of Yugoslavia, while simulatenously performing various public duties like that of the general director of TV Titograd. He was also a member of the Executive Council of Socialist Republic of Montenegro. From 1988 - 1989, he was the President of Presidency of the Socialist Republic of Montenegro within the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.^[2] He was a member of the League of Communists of Montenegro. After being forced out of power in early 1989 by Milo Đukanović, Svetozar Marović and Momir Bulatović in the wake of "anti-bureaucratic revolution", the 58-year-old Ivanović semi-retired from politics though he still continued holding official rank and fringe influence within Democratic Party of Socialists of Montenegro (transformed Montenegrin branch of Yugoslav Communist League) for some time afterwards.
