Stephen or Stjepan Ban of Bosnia, was the third Bosnian ban who ruled the banate of Bosnia recorded by name in written sources. He was in power sometime between 1204 and 1232. His rule was not popular, due to his Catholicism and allegiance to the Kingdom of Hungary. He was the last ruler of the House of Kulinić.
He is often called Serbo-Croatian: Stjepan Kulinić / Стјепан Кулинић in local sources (Stephen son of Kulin), and sometimes Stephen Kulinić in English There are no contemporary sources calling him by this patronymic, however.
