Đuro Cvijić (pseudonym: Krešić; born on 25 March 1896 in Zagreb — died on 26 April 1938 in Moscow) was a Yugoslav communist from Croatia. He joined the League of Communists of Yugoslavia (LCY) in 1919, and served as a political secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (CPY) from 1927 until 27 November 1928. From the party's founding on 23 April 1919 until 1928, Cvijić served as secretary of the Provincial Executive Committee of the CPY in Croatia and Slavonia. He also served as an ordinary member of the CPY Central Committee and the CPY Politburo.

He was killed on charges of anti-revolutionary activity during the Great Purge but was rehabilitated by a decision of the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the USSR in 1963.
