The Moračani (Serbian Cyrillic: Морачани) are one of the historical Serbian[1] tribes of Montenegro and one of the seven highlander tribes from the Brda region. According to folklore, their founder was Bogić Moračanin (16th century), hence they also call themselves Bogićevci. The region that they occupy is called Morača.
