Matej Ninoslav (Serbian Cyrillic: Матеј Нинослав; died 1250) was the Ban of Bosnia in the period of 1232–50.^[1] Most of Bosnia was under the Kingdom of Hungary from 1235 to 1241. Ninoslav was also a Prince of Split in 1242–1244 during the local civil war. Ninoslav established control of most of Bosnia after the Hungarian withdrawal.
