Zabergan (Ζαβεργάν) was chieftain of the Bulgar Kutrigur Huns about 550-560. Most probably the name Zabergan has Iranian origin. Either under pressure by incoming Avars, or in revolt against Byzantine Empire, in the winter of 558, he led a large Kutrigur army who crossed frozen Danube, and was divided into three sections; one raided south far as Thermopylae, while two others the Thracian Chersonesus and the periphery of Constantinople. On March 559 Zabergan attacked Constantinople, and one part of his forces consisted of 7000 horsemen.

The transit of such big distances in short period of time shows they were mounted warriors, and the Zabergan raiders were already encamped near the banks of the Danube. However, once again Emperor Justinian I (527–565) managed to persuade the Utigurs chieftain Sandilch to attack the Kutrigurs, which resulted with decimation of one another. It is unknown if is related to the general Zabergan who in 586 defended fortress Chlomaron against the Romans.
