Kotroman (1242–1314) was a Bosnian Ban from 1287 to 1290 jointly with Ban Prijezda II and 1290–1314 alone as a vassal of the Kingdom of Hungary. Internally, he was a vassal of the Banate of Croatia. The Bosnian ruling dynasty House of Kotroman is named after him, with his patronymic. He is also sometimes referred to as Stephen Kotroman or Stephen I Kotroman, being the first of the Kotromans that was Stephen, deriving from the Greek word "Stephanos" meaning "crowned". Kotroman took the nickname "Stephen" to emulate his power. He was allegedly a Roman Catholic Christian of German origin. He might have been the son of Bosnian Ban Prijezda I.
