Ivan Šaric (27 September 1871 – 16 July 1960) was a Roman Catholic priest who became the archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vrhbosna (Sarajevo) in 1922.
In 1940 Šaric was tasked by the national bishops' conference to put together the first modern Croatian translation of the Bible.
A benefactor of the Bosnian Croat population, Šaric became a controversial figure because of his pro-Ustaše activities and rhetoric, including his support for forcible conversions to Catholicism inside the Independent State of Croatia during World War II.
