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 authored two books 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.
