Jurij Slatkonja (German: Georg von Slatkonia, also Jurij Chrysippus, Slovenian: Jurij Slatkonja; 21 March 1456 – 26 April 1522) was a Carniolan choirmaster and the first residential Bishop of Vienna.
He was also the first owner of an ex libris among the Slovenes.
His crest contained a golden horse, based on a false etymology of his surname (Slovene slat [˜ zlat] 'golden' + konja [˜ konj] 'horse').
(The surname actually refers to someone that enjoys sweet food.)
