Franjo baron Vlašić (Austrian: Franz Vlassits; Hungarian: Vlassich Ferenc; 24 April 1766 – 16 May 1840) was a Croatian general and ban of Croatia between 1832 and 1840.
[1] Serbs in Petrovaradin considered General Vlašić one of their own.
He resisted the Magyarization of Croatia, especially the teaching of Hungarian in schools.
During his rule the Croatian national revival began with the Illyrian Movement.
Following his death, he was succeeded by Juraj Haulik as acting ban.
