Vlatko Vuković Kosača (died 1392) was a Vojvode of Hum (Herzegovina).
Vuković was a Vojvode, which is the Slavic term for a military commander who also serves as a territorial governor, often translated as 'Duke'.
He governed the province of Hum (Herzegovina), which was part of the Kingdom of Bosnia. Bosnia were enjoying a period of peace and prosperity under King Tvrtko Kotromanić, but the Turkish threat was building to the east, threatening neighboring Serbia. In 1388 Vojvode Vlatko defeated a Ottoman raiding party that had invaded Hum, and in 1389 he commanded a Bosnian army that fought alongside Serbian Prince Lazar Hrebeljanović at the Battle of Kosovo Polje against the Ottomans.
Although the battle is viewed now as a decisive defeat and the end of Serbian independence, at the time the battle was viewed differently; Vuković reported the outcome of the battle as a victory, as the Ottomans suffered heavy losses and were forced to withdraw for a time. He died in 1392.
Vuković's grave lies marked near the village of Boljuni by Stolac, Bosnia.
