Dr. Džafer Kulenović (17 February 1891 – 3 October 1956), often referred to as Džafer-beg Kulenović, was a Yugoslav politician who led the Yugoslav Muslim Organization in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and was briefly Minister of Forestry and Mining in the pre-war Yugoslav governments of Dragiša Cvetković and Dušan Simović. During World War II, he served as the Vice President of the Axis puppet state the Independent State of Croatia.
Džafer Kulenović was born to a Bosniak family in the village Rajinovci near Kulen Vakuf, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Austria-Hungary. He was the son of Muhamed-beg Kulenović and his wife Meleća. He had an older brother, Osman (1889–1947), a politician and lawyer. Kulenović attended gymnasium in Sarajevo and Tuzla, and he was expelled from school in 1905 just two months before graduation due to a clash with Serbian students; because of that he transferred to school in Mostar and graduated there in 1909. In the same year, he entered the University of Vienna, but because of health issues he went to Faculty of Law, University of Zagreb from which he graduated. Kulenović was active in Vienna's Party of Rights' youth organization of pro-Croat Muslims, Svijest (The Awareness), and was elected its president.
