Josip Stadler (24 January 1843 – 8 December 1918) was a Bosnian-Herzegovinian prelate of the Catholic Church who served as the first archbishop of Vrhbosna, from 1881 to his death in 1918.

He was the founder of the religious order of the Servants of the Infant Jesus (Croatian: Služavke Maloga Isusa).

He started his education in Slavonski Brod, and continued it, under the patronage of cardinal Juraj Haulik, in Požega and Zagreb where he attended Classical gymnasium.

Stadler founded the women's order of the Servants of the Infant Jesus with the intention of helping impoverished and abandoned children and others.

[6] Stadler invited Serbs to engage in a theological discussion and to consider the possibility of unifying the two churches, but his proposal was firmly rejected.
