Anton Vovk was a twentieth-century Catholic prelate who served as the first Archbishop of Ljubljana. Born in 1900 in the village of Vrba, he was a relative of the poet France Prešeren. After his ordination in 1923, he held various clerical roles, including serving as a parish priest and a seminary rector. Following the departure of Gregorij Rožman, Vovk assumed leadership of the Ljubljana Diocese, eventually becoming its archbishop in 1961 under Pope John XXIII.
