Avdo Jabučica was an Ottoman Bosnian blacksmith and armorer from Sarajevo, Sanjak of Bosnia, Ottoman Empire (modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina).

In 1866 Jabučica forgered copper coins and was caught by the Ottoman authorities.[1]

During the first days of the Austrian occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878 Jabučica repaired two Krupp cannons which were activated to fight against invading Austrian troops.[2] Later, when he was arrested Jabučica was forced to admit that he produced needles for artillery but he denied his participation in the battles around Sarajevo.[3]

Jabučica was put on court martial and sentenced to death. Jabučica was executed by shooting on 6 September 1878, together with many other participants in the resistance to occupying Austrian forces.[4]
