Jane Ivanov Sandanski (Yane Sandanski) (May 18, 1872, Vlahi, present day Bulgaria - April 22, 1915 near Melnik, Bulgaria) was a Bulgarian or Macedonian revolutionary from Macedonia, one of the leaders of BMARC, SMORO and IMARO since 1895.
Jane Sandanski was born in the village of Vlahi near Melnik (present Bulgaria) on May 28 1872. His father Ivan participated as a flag carrier in the well known Kresna Uprising. After the crush of the uprising, in 1879 his family moved to Dupnitsa, Bulgaria, where Sandanski received his elementary education. Until 1895 Sandanski was a Bulgarian state employee.
Jane Sandanski was a prominent revolutionary, and one of the leaders of the Revolutionary Movement in Macedonia and Thrace. Since the start of his revolutionary activity, he became well known because he protected the villagers from the tyranny of the Ottomans. He organised courts and taught self-defence. Sandanski lived and fought in the Pirin region, and that is why the people gave him the name "Pirin Tsar" (Pirinski Car). He was also active in the Ilinden Uprising, and in 1908 when he supported the movement of Young Turks. He was one of the leaders of the one of the political parties of Bulgarians in Macedonia in 1909-1910 - Bulgarian People Federative Party which headquarter was in Solun.
With the fall of the Ottoman empire Macedonia was partitioned between Serbia, Bulgaria and Greece. Sandanski supported the Bulgarian army in the Balkan wars of 1912-1913.
Sandanski was killed near the Rozhen Monastery on April 22 1915, while travelling from Melnik to Nevrokop.
