The holy hieromartyr Dimitrije (Bokšan, † 1941) was parish priest of the town of Sombor, in Bačka, killed by the Hungarian occupiers in the church of the Great Martyr George on 14 April 1941. He was glorified locally in the Bačka diocese: canonized by the Synod of the Serbian Orthodox Church in May 2022, among the holy martyrs of Bačka; the rite of glorification was held on 2 October 2022 at Novi Sad.

He suffered as parish priest of Sombor, in the church of Saint George, on the day of the occupation of the town by the Hungarian army, 14 April 1941. His relics were brought into the church at Sombor and placed before the throne of the Mother of God on Palm Sunday, 9 April 2023, when Bishop Damaskin of Mohács said in his sermon that he, as the finest flower of his soul, offered to God his life, all he had of greatest worth.
