Stefan Paštrović ({{langx|sr|Стефан Паштровић}}, {{floruit}} 1597) was a Serbian Orthodox hieromonk of Monastery of Gradište in Buljarica. He descended from the Paštrovići coastal tribe in modern-day Montenegro. According to some sources his position was hegumen.{{cite book|title=Bibliotekar|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MKI4AQAAIAAJ|year=1986|publisher=Savez bibliotečkih radnika Srbije.|page=30|quote=...из књижице коју је написао Стефан Паштровић, игуман, а штампао је јеромонах Сава Дечански у Млецима 1597.}}
