The Vranica Case was the massacre of Bosnian army POWs' in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, perpetrated by Croatian Defence Council (HVO), during Croat–Bosniak War, which was a part of larger Bosnian War.

It was committed on 10 May 1993 by HVO, during the Bosnian War, when HVO shot dead 13 Bosnian POWs' in Mostar.

Two journalists/reporters from Zagreb based national broadcasting company Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT), Dijana Čuljak and Smiljko Šagolj, made a TV report about captured men in which both of them claimed that men were actually arrested terrorists who victimized Croat civilians, while recording them on tape as they were standing line-upped at gun point in front of the building of former "Vranica" state company.

These two controversial journalists are still blamed by the families of victims in Vranica Case, for inciting massacre of Bosnian POWs' after broadcasting a false report.

The bodies of Bosnian POWs' were later found in Goranci Mass Grave.
