Balša Petar Hercegović (Serbian Cyrillic: Балша Петар Херцеговић, c. 1458 - c. 1514) was the titular "Duke of St. Sava" (Latin: dux sancti Sabae),[1] as son of duke Vladislav Hercegović and Byzantine princess Anna Kantakouzene. He was born before the Ottoman conquest of the Bosnian Kingdom (1463). Sometime c. 1460, Vladislav sent Anna and their children to live in the Republic of Ragusa.[2] His father was given the estate of Kalnik near Križevci, Croatia in 1469 by king Matthias Corvinus. Balša joined his father and remained in Hungary, where he was later active at the court of king Vladislaus II.[3]

Historian D. Lovrenović noted that it was possible that he was Jelena Nelipić's son.[4]
