thumb|Fausto Veranzio's 1595 Dictionarium quinque linguarum lists poglavnik as a "[[Dalmatian" word (column 4, item 5). It is equated to Latin princeps, German Fürst and Hungarian fejedelem.]] '''''' () is a Croatian word meaning 'leader' or 'guide'.
As a political title, it is strongly associated with Ante Pavelić, head of the fascist organization known as the Ustaše in 1929 and served as dictator of the Independent State of Croatia, a World War II fascist puppet state built out of parts of Axis occupied Yugoslavia by the authorities of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, between 1941 and 1945.
