Vladimiro Américo Jorge Boric Crnosija (Croatian: Vladimir Borić Crnošija; 23 April 1905 – 29 August 1973) was a Chilean cleric and bishop for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Punta Arenas.[1]

He was born to Juan (Ive) Boric and Natalia Crnosija, both Croatian immigrants,[2] and completed his primary studies at the San José School.[3] He became ordained in 1930 and was appointed bishop in October 1949 by Pope Pius XII, becoming the first bishop of his hometown of Punta Arenas.[4] He died in Santiago on 29 August 1973, at the age of 68, less than two weeks before the 1973 Chilean coup d'état.[3] His grandnephew, Gabriel Boric Font, is the former president of Chile.[4]
