Hrvatin Stjepanić (; 1299–1304), was a Bosnian magnate with the title of Knez of Donji Kraji in Bosnia . In historiography, Hrvatin's surname is spelled Stjepanić or Stipanić. Hrvatin is a namesake for the Hrvatinić noble family.

Life Hrvatin Stjepanić was a Bosnian magnate, who ruled in Donji Kraji, in medieval Bosnia with the title of knez .
