John of Trogir (died before 1111) was the bishop of Trogir, a Christian saint who lived in the 11th century.
He was originally a Benedictine monk in the monastery of Saint Peter in Osor, located on the island of Cres. John was eventually consecrated as the bishop of Trogir upon the citizen's request by Laurentinus, Archbishop of Split. His name appears variously in the charters of Croatian Kings towards the end of 11th century.
In 1105, he had diverted the Hungarian King Koloman from destroying Trogir, during his succession campaign for the crown.
His tomb is located in the Trogir Cathedral (Chapel of Saint Ivan Trogiranin). Feast of St. Ivan Trogir, patron of the city of Trogir, is solemnly celebrated on November 14.

The Kingdom of Croatia entered a personal union with the Kingdom of Hungary in 1102, after a period of rule of kings from the Trpimirović and Svetoslavić dynasties and a succession crisis following the death of king Demetrius Zvonimir. With the coronation of King Coloman of Hungary as "King of Croatia and Dalmatia" in 1102 in Biograd, the realm passed to the Árpád dynasty until 1301, when the (male) line of the dynasty died out. Then, kings from the Capetian House of Anjou, who were also cognatic descendants of the Árpád kings, ruled the kingdoms. Later centuries were characterized by conflicts with the Mongols, who sacked Zagreb in 1242, competition with Venice for control over Dalmatian coastal cities, and internal warfare among Croatian nobility. Various individuals emerged during the period, such as Paul I Šubić of Bribir, who was representing the most powerful Croatian dynasty at the time, the Šubić noble family. These powerful individuals were on occasion able to de facto secure great deal of independence for their fiefdoms. The Ottoman incursion into Europe in the 16th century significantly reduced Croatian territories and left the country weak and divided. After the death of Louis II in 1526 during the Battle of Mohács and a brief period of dynastic dispute, both crowns passed to the Austrian House of Habsburg, and the realms became part of the Habsburg monarchy.
