Augustin Kažotić (Italian: Agostino Casotti, Hungarian: Kazotics Ágoston; 1260 – 3 August 1323) was a Croatian prelate of the Catholic Church and professed member from the Order of Preachers who served as the Bishop of Lucera from 1322 until his death. Kažotić was a humanist and orator who had served first as the Bishop of Zagreb from 1303 until 1322. Kažotić studied in Paris before returning to his homeland where he began working in the missions and preaching in modern Bosnia and Herzegovina. He was one of the first humanist figures to appear in southern Croatia.
His reputation for personal holiness remained noted long after his death; this resulted in Pope Innocent XII confirming Kažotić's beatification in 1700.
