Vlaho Kabužić (Latin: Blasius Caboga, Italian: Biagio Caboga) (27 December 1698 – 1750), was a Ragusan nobleman and diplomat. He was a member of the influential Kabužić noble family. He is known for being poklisar harača (ambassador of kharaj), the man who brought the money from Dubrovnik to pay regular annual tribute to the Ottoman Sultan in Istanbul.

Family

Vlaho Kaboga was the son of Bernard Kaboga (*1671; †1753) and his wife Maria née Bosdari (*1671; †1753). He had several brothers and sisters, among which was Marin, the duke of Slano. In 1732 he married Katarina Gundulić (*1709; †1749), a daughter of Dživo Šiškov Gundulić and great-granddaughter of Ivan Gundulić, the most prominent ragusan Baroque poet.

He had a large family, of whom two sons, Bernard (*1739; †1814) and Ivan (*1743; †1826), were notable austrofils and freemasons, very influential Ragusan politicians who undertook many public duties. His grandsons Vlaho Filip "traditur" (*1774; †1854) and Bernard-Brno (*1785; †1855) were granted the title of count by the emperor of the Habsburg monarchy.
