The Bela Crkva incident was an event that took place on 7 July 1941 in the village of Bela Crkva near Krupanj, when a group of Yugoslav Partisans led by Žikica Jovanović Španac killed two gendarmes who were enforcing a ban on political rallies after the German occupation of Serbia. The event was later taken as the beginning of the uprising in Serbia led by the Communist Party of Yugoslavia against the Axis occupiers and their collaborators.
