Veselinje Monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery near Glamoč, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The monastery contains a church dedicated to John the Baptist and stands in the village of Vrba, 5 kilometers southeast of Glamoč.

The monastery experienced destruction during World War II when the Ustaše demolished its wooden church and killed the parish priest Simo Banjac.

The memorial chapel contains remains of 806 victims from mass graves and serves as a testament to the region's complex past.

The monastery displays ancient tombstones in its yard and maintains three bells manufactured between 1879 and 1936.

The monastery grounds include ruins of a 5th-century church located 300 meters away at the site of former Roman municipium Salvium.
