Stefan Paštrović (Serbian: Стефан Паштровић, fl. 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.
Paštrović co-authored two manuscripts and engaged hieromonk Sava from Visoki Dečani to print them in Venice. Sava printed Proceedings for travelers or Prayer Book of Stefan Paštrović (Serbian: Зборник за путнике; Молитвеник Стефана Паштровића) and First Serbian Primer (Serbian: Први Српски Буквар) in the printing house Rampazetto and Heirs in Venice. "Prayer Book was published" on 19 May 1597 and "Serbian Primer" was printed a day later.
