Jadranka Kosor (born July 1, 1953 in Pakrac, SR Croatia, Yugoslavia) is a Croatian politician and journalist.

Kosor graduated law in Zagreb, and worked as a journalist from 1972. During the Croatian War of Independence, she worked as a radio-journalist and her show covered war topics such as refugee problems and disabled war veterans. She also worked briefly as a correspondent for the BBC during this time.

In 1995 she became a representative in Croatian Parliament as a member of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ). She was also the vice-president of the Croatian Parliament.

Kosor was the vice-president of the HDZ party between 1995 and 1997, and from 2002 up to today. In 2003, she became the minister of family, veterans and inter-generational solidarity in the Croatian Government of Ivo Sanader.

HDZ nominated her as their presidential candidate for the presidential election of 2005. In the first round, she overtook Boris Mikšić by a few percent to reach the second place. She then faced off Stipe Mesić in the second round, but lost.

Bosnian rapper Edo Maajka made a song about her because she denied him Croatian citizenship.
