Karlo Pavao Gvozdanović (German: Karl Paul von Quosdanovich, in some sources also Quasdanovich or Guosdanovich; Brezovac Žumberački near Samobor, Kingdom of Croatia within Habsburg Monarchy, 1763 – Pančevo, Banat Military Frontier, Habsburg Monarchy, 5 February 1817) was a Croatian nobleman and general in the Habsburg Monarchy imperial army service. He achieved the rank of major general and was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Military Order of Maria Theresa in 1801 and the Commander's Cross of the same order of merit in 1814.
Karlo Pavao baron Gvozdanović was born in Žumberak, a range of mountains between Croatia and Slovenia, known for his uskoks, the refugees from parts of Croatia occupied by the Ottoman Empire and traditional guerrilla soldiers. The Gvozdanović family surname dates back to Raška and Zeta in the Middle Ages. He was a relative of Petar Vid Gvozdanović, Fieldmarshal Lieutenant, who distinguished himself in the War of the Bavarian Succession (1778-1779) and the War of the First Coalition (1792-1797).
