Viktor Gutić (23 December 1901 – 20 February 1947) was a Croatian army colonel who was an Ustaše commissioner (Serbo-Croatian: stožernik) for Banja Luka and the Grand Prefect of Pokuplje in the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) during World War II.

He fled to Austria and Italy following the collapse of the NDH in 1945 and was arrested in Venice and taken to a camp in Grottaglie before being extradited to Yugoslavia in early 1946.

[2] Gutić became the Ustaše commissioner (stožernik) on the territory of the dissolved Vrbas Banovina shortly after the creation of the Independent State of Croatia (Nezavisna Država Hrvatska, NDH) in April 1941.

[1] On 23 April, he ordered that all Serbs and Montenegrins then living in the Bosanska Krajina that had been born in Serbia or Montenegro were to leave the area within five days.

[1] As commissioner, he strived to transform Banja Luka "from a small regional town into a real city of the future" through the construction of new roads and railway lines, the redesign of streets and the creation of a public building program.

"[13] Gutić had strict new laws introduced in the city and ordered that heavy sentences be imposed for acts such as public intoxication.

[14] In August, he ordered the destruction of a damaged Serbian Orthodox cathedral—which he called a "former Greek Eastern" "house of spite"—for "aesthetic" reasons and so that a statue of Croatian politician Ante Starčević could be constructed in its place.

[15] He was named Grand Prefect (veliki župan) of northwestern Bosnia later that month and was assigned to work for the Ministry of the Interior (Ministarstvo unutarnjih poslova, MUP) in Zagreb.

In October 1941, Gutić's men murdered a local Muslim hodža, causing 500 people to take to the streets in protest.

[16] In January and February 1942, Gutić brought a battalion of Ustaše from Herzegovina to Banja Luka and had them carry out atrocities in surrounding Serb villages.
