Juraj Dragišić (c. 1445–1520), known in Italian as Giorgio Benigno Salviati (Latin: Georgius Benignus de Salviatis), was a Bosnian Franciscan theologian and philosopher of the Renaissance.

He held several high Franciscan offices and in his later years was the bishop of Cagli (1507–1520) and titular archbishop of Nazareth (1512–1520). A prolific Neo-Latin writer, Dragišić wrote mostly on theology and philosophy. He was partial to the dialogue form. Theologically he was a Scotist and philosophically a Platonist. He readily entered into live controversies, defending Bessarion against charges of heresy, entering the Plato–Aristotle controversy, debating the problem of future contingents and the problem of evil, defending the prophecies of Girolamo Savonarola, defending Johannes Reuchlin and the Talmud and defending Duke Francesco Maria of Urbino against the charge of murder.
