Svetlana Kana Radević. (21 November 1937, in Cetinje, Yugoslavia – died on 8 November 2000) was a Yugoslav architect, credited as the first female Montenegrin architect. She attended elementary school and then completed high school at Slobodan Škerović School in Titograd (now Podgorica). She graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Belgrade and then went on to attain a master's degree from the University of Pennsylvania. She continued her studies in Japan, which strongly influenced her later work.
She was a full member of Doclean Academy of Sciences and Arts and the first vice president of Matica crnogorska, as well as a foreign member of the Russian Academy of Architecture and Construction Sciences. Her most noted work was the Hotel Podgorica (1964-1967), for which she won the Federal Borba Award for Architecture in 1967, and the Hotel Zlatibor (1979-1981), with expansive public spaces that welcomed both locals and visitors to commingle in environments that made socialist broadly luxury accessible; the Petrovac Apartment Building (1967), with its sculptural façade and expansive apartment layouts.
Her Monument to the Fallen Soldiers of Lješanska nahija in Barutana also won a national competition in 1975, as well as the Monument to Fallen Fighters at Barutana (1980), a sculptural memorial landscape that commemorates local anti-fascist fighters.
