Jovan Nenad , ( Serbian - Cyrillic Јован Ненад , Hungarian: Fekete Iván , Croatian: Ivan Crni ; * unknown, place of birth perhaps Lipova near Arad ; † around 1527 near Szeged ), also with the nickname Jovan Nenad the Black (Јован Нени / Jovan Nenad Crni) was a leader of Serbian banderies in Hungary and declared himself Tsar of the Serbs .

After the Battle of Mohács in 1526, a mysterious person appeared among the Serbs of southern Hungary, Jovan Nenad (Johann Unverhofft), also known as Jovan Crni (Johann the Black) because of a birthmark which supposedly reached from the right temple down to the right foot. Claiming to have been sent by God to set Christians free, he performed supposed miracles and declared himself Tsar of the Serbs and Emperor of Byzantium . Taking advantage of the turmoil in Hungary after the battle of Mohács, he brought almost all of today's Vojvodina under his rule and established his residence in Subotica . In the Count of Subotica Valentin Tarek, who was driven out by Johann Nenad, he created his mortal enemy. Johann Nenad supported the Hungarian claims to the throne of Ferdinand I against Johann Zápolya . His army defeated Zápolya's armies twice and suffered a heavy defeat in the third battle. He withdrew to reorganize his army. When Ferdinand I marched into Hungary with his army, Johann Nenad went to meet Ferdinand. He was shot in an ambush near Szeged by followers of Zápolyas. Seriously injured, he was captured by Tarek in his sick camp and then beheaded.
