Lazar Pecirep (Лазар Пециреп; 1745–1753) was a Serb hajduk (brigand) commander in the Sanjak of Herzegovina (Ottoman Empire). He is enumerated in Serbian epic poetry.

He was together in a hajduk band with one of Stanislav Sočivica's brothers. At the end of November 1753 Pecirep and Đuro Pešikanović with their bands penetrated the Mrčevac village in Konavle, seizing 500 sheep, killed four shepherds, kidnapped two girls and later returned them for 30 ducats. Krivošije and Montenegrins cooperated in the operation. He fell into the hands of the Ottoman government after the betrayal by Kadić from Bjelopavlići. Prepared to be impaled, the Turks had not tied him, as they thought he was unable to do anything with only one hand (his other was crippled),
