Koloman Bedekovic (Hungarian: Kálmán Bedekovich; 13 October 1818 – 10 August 1889) was a Croatian politician, who served as Minister without portfolio of Croatian Affairs twice: between 1868–1871 and between 1876–1889.
He had significant role in the creation of Croatian-Hungarian Agreement.
In 1871 he was appointed Ban of Croatia-Slavonia. Bedekovic was the leader of the Croatian Unionist Party and fought against his country's independence.
As ban he called parliamentary elections in 1871.
The People's Party emerged victorious, causing Bedekovic to prorogue the Croatian Parliament three times to prevent it from taking power.
Dissatisfaction with the obstruction of parliament led to the Rakovica Revolt.
Early elections were subsequently called for 1872.
The failure of Bedekovic to convene the previous parliament resulted in him being removed from the post of ban and replaced with the first non-noble ban, Ivan Mažuranic.
