Vojlovica (Serbian: Војловица, Hungarian: Hertelendyfalva, German: Wojlowitz) is a former village, today neighborhood of the city of Pančevo, Serbia. Vojlovica’s downtown is located 3,32 km away from the downtown of Pančevo. Its population is about 8,500 people and include Serbs, Hungarians, and Slovaks.

Vojlovica was founded on 21 July 1883 under the Hungarian name Hertelendyfalva, after Hertelendy József. Today’s name exists from 1922, and the village got it after the nearby Orthodox monastery of Vojlovica (which was founded in 1404). In the time of the village foundation, there was only one forest which belonged to the monastery. On 21 September 1902 a Reformated church was erected, where Tomka Károly became the first priest. In this newly founded church, all treasured documents and data (which had been brought from Andrasfalva in 1883) are kept.
