Vasilije Pavićević (born 11 May 1946) is a Serbian electrical engineer and politician from Bajina Bašta. He directed Drinske Hidroelektrane for several years. He served in the National Assembly from 2001 to 2004 as a member of the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS).

In 1993 he ran for parliament in the Užice district but his list won only one seat. In 2000 the DSS joined the Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS); he was 77th on the DOS list and received a seat when the coalition won a large majority, taking office in January 2001. The DSS left DOS in 2002. Some DSS MPs, including Pavićević, had their mandates briefly nullified by DOS, but the decision was later reversed. The Democratic Party (DS) accused Pavićević and other DSS members of blocking parliament during this period.

In the 2003 election he was 98th on the DSS list; the list won 53 seats and he did not return to parliament, with his term ending in 2004. He appeared on DSS–New Serbia lists in 2007 and 2008 but did not receive a mandate. Locally, he has served in the Bajina Bašta municipal assembly and was elected there in 2012, when the DSS won six of forty-five seats. He left the DSS in 2014. In 2016 he led a local DSS list in Bajina Bašta and was re-elected as the list won four seats. In the 2020 local elections he was fourth on the SNP list; the list won two seats and he was not re-elected.
