Dejan (Serbian Cyrillic: Дејан; fl. 1346–ca. 1366) was a Serbian magnate who served Emperor Stefan Dušan (r. 1331–55) as despot and Emperor Uroš V (r. 1355–71) as sevastokrator. He was married to Emperor Dušan’s sister Teodora and possessed a large province in the Kumanovo region east of Skopska Crna Gora. It initially included the old župe (counties) of Žegligovo and Preševo (modern Kumanovo region with Sredorek Kozjačija and the larger part of Pčinja).
