Brocca ({{langx|hu|Baracska}}) was a nobleman from TransdanubiaMakk 1989, p. 164. in the Kingdom of Hungary, who was appointed Judge royal ({{langx|la|curialis comes}}) by Anti-king Stephen IV of Hungary in 1163. He lost his office when his king suffered a decisive defeat at Székesfehérvár on 19 June 1163 against Stephen III of Hungary.Zsoldos 2011, p. 27.
Brocca was a prominent member of the Baracska clan which originated from Bojta, a Cuman military commander and lord, however the name itself derived from Brocca. Thus the name of village Baracska is also named after Brocca, according to historian János Karácsonyi.
