Dejan Manjak ({{lang-sr-cyr|Дејан Мањак}}, {{floruit}} 1333) was a nobleman in the service of Serbian King Stefan Dušan, only mentioned in a charter dated January 22, 1333,{{cite book|author=Pantelija Slavkov Srećković|title=Istorija srpskoga naroda: Vreme kraljevstva i carstva (1159-1367)|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AbcLAAAAIAAJ|year=1888|publisher=Kraljevsko-srpska drž. štamparija|page=|quote=Повеља потписана у Полoгу 1333 Јан. 22, где су били: епискуп призренски Арсеније, Казнац Балдовни, војвода Градислав, жупан Вратко, кнез Гргур Курјаковић, Ставилац Милош, војвода Дејан Мањак (Мuиљкњ),}} in which Stefan Dušan officially sold Ston and Prevlaka to the Republic of Venice.{{citation | last= Mihaljčić | first= Rade | authorlink= Rade Mihaljčić | url= https://books.google.com/books?id=V3FpAAAAMAAJ | title= Kraj srpskog carstva | publisher= Beogradski izdavačko-grafički zavod| place=Belgrade | year=1989 | orig-year=1975 |language=sr|page=67| isbn= 9788613003465 }}{{sfn|Istorisko Društvo NR Srbije|1953|p=16|loc="Војвода Дејан Мањак је поменут у повељи краља Стесрана Душана којом је овај уступио Дубровчанима Стонски Рат и Превлаку"}} Based on the order in which the witnesses appear, vojvoda Dejan was of lower rank than stavilac Miloš.{{cite book|author=Srpska akademija nauka i umetnosti|title=Glas|volume=408-410|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9847AQAAIAAJ|year=2007|page=18|quote=Нижи по рангу од ставилца био је војвода Дејан Манијакис или Мањак, после њега поменут је Градислав Сушеница, који у латинској исправи има титулу „ставилца", што не мора бити тачно.

K. J. Jireček suggested that Dejan Manjak was the same person as Dejan, the sevastokrator of Dušan.{{cite book|title=Istorijski glasnik|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=L3s6AQAAIAAJ|year=1953|publisher=Naučna knjiga|page=17|quote=Она би се могла усвојити чак и у случају да се одбаци његова сугестија да су војвода Дејан Мањак и севастократор Дејан иста личност.}}

According to two fresco compositions dated between 1332 and 1337 in the Kučevište Monastery, in the narthex, on the northern and southern wall, Dejan had a wife, Vladislava, and two sons, Jovan and Dmitar. Dejan is depicted on the southern wall with his wife standing next to Stefan Dušan and his wife Jelena.
