The Bagaš (Serbian: Багаш, Greek: Pagases) was a Serbian noble family that served the Serbian Kingdom and Empire.

The word Bagaš is derived from the Old Slavic measurement with the same name.

The family hailed from Kastoria. Some scholars believe that the Bagaš family was originally from Vranje in Serbia while some other scholars believe that historical sources do not confirm it. Some scholars believe the Bagaš family was of Vlach origin.

There were several Serbian noblemen to which Antonije and Nikola might be related, such as kaznac Baldovin, Knez Baldovin and Župan Maljušat, son of knez Baldovin who controlled region of Vranje. Based on Nikola's surname (Baldovin Bagaš) some scholars concluded that they were indeed related.
