Brne Karnarutić (Zadar, 1515 - Zadar, 1573) was Croatian Renaissance poet and writer.

He was born in Zadar probably in 1515 as a descent of old noble family. After schooling in Zadar he studied law, probably in Padua. He served as a captain in Venice navy, and afterwards worked as an advocate in Zadar, where he deceased probably in 1573.

Much more famous is Karnarutić's other work - "Vazetje Sigeta grada" (Venice, 1584), the first Croatian historical epic on the Battle of Szigetvár and the tragic death of Nikola Šubić Zrinski and courageous defenders of Szigetvár (1566)
