Kurjaković (de Coriach, de Curiaco, Curiacovich) were a Croatian noble family that originated from the Gusić gentis.

History

At the beginning of the 14th century, Kurjak Gusić (Curiaco de genere Gussich) founded the cadet branch, and thus his descendants started calling themselves as "Kurjaković". Several members of this branch served as Bans of Croatia:[1]
