Vladimir III of Kiev

Vladimir III Mstislavich (Russian: Владимир III Мстиславич, Ukrainian: Володимир III Мстиславич; 1132–1171) was a prince of Dorogobuzh (1150–1154, 1170–1171), Volodymyr and Volyn (1154–1157), Slutsk (1162), Trypillia (1162–1168) and Grand Prince of Kiev (1171). He was the son of Mstislav I Vladimirovich, grandson of Vladimir Monomakh. Due to his brief rule, he is omitted from some lists of the princes of Kiev.

In this name that follows Eastern Slavic naming conventions, the patronymic is Mstislavich.

He was a son of Mstislav I from his second marriage with Liubava Dmitrievna Zavidich. According to Latopis kijowski Vladimir was born between 1 March 1131 and 29 February 1132.

He kept excellent ties with Hungary and Serbia. In 1150 he married the daughter of Serbia's Beloš Vukanović. According to old Russian annals, her titular name was inscribed as "Banovna".
