VUK or Vuk may refer to:
Vuk (Serbian Cyrillic: Вук) is a South Slavic male given name, predominantly recorded among the Serbs. The name literally means "wolf".Vuk Karadžić, 19th-century Serbian philologist and ethnographer, explained the traditional, apotropaic use of the name: a woman who had lost several babies in succession, would name her newborn son Vuk, because it was believed that the witches, who "ate" the babies, were afraid to attack the wolves. In the Serbian epic poetry, the wolf is a symbol of fearlessness. Vuk was the 17th most popular name for boys in Serbia in the period 2003–2005.

As a representative of the Croatian Parliament, he participated in its work since 1847 where he was responsible, along with Ivan Kukuljević Sakcinski, for the declaration of Croatian language as the official language in 1847.
During the 1848-1849 revolution he served as the supreme commander of the armies in Križevci County, securing the defense on the river of Drava and in Međimurje, and publishing reports from the front lines in Slavenski jug. In 1849-1854 he served as the president of the Regional Court in Križevci, until his forced retirement due to his opposition to the introduction of German language as the official language.

Although he was appointed as a representative in the Croatian Parliament as a member of the People's Party in 1871, he soon turned unionist, and has not entered the civil service ever since.
