The Borač Castle (Serbian Cyrillic: Борач) was a noble court and one of the largest and most important fortified towns of medieval Bosnia, situated on top of rugged slopes high above the Prača river canyon, between Mesići and Brčigovo, near modern-day Rogatica, in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The fortified castle was a seat of the Pavlović noble family.
