Filcho Dimitrov, known as Filcho Voivode, was a Bulgarian hajduk active in the Lozengrad region during the 19th century.

He was born around 1825 in the village of Enidzhia. He came from a modest family; his father, Dimitar, was born in Lozengrad. Filcho settled in Enidzhia towards the beginning of the previous century and worked as a shepherd. He married Tasya (Anastasia) and had four children: Filcho, Apostol (Toleto), Kostadin (Dineto) and a daughter, Binitsa.

In 1866, Filcho Voivode was killed by the pursuer of brigands Ali Pehlivan at Yuchklise, within the territory of Derekyoy in the Elhovo region, together with his seven loyal friends, all from his home village of Enidzhia.
