The Pribinić family, also Radosalić family or Radosalić–Pribinić family, were a prominent medieval Bosnian noble family, a holder of the hereditary honor, which ruled over the medieval župa of Lepenica, a part of the medieval Bosnian state. Župa Lepenica was located in central Bosnia and included modern day's towns of Kiseljak, Fojnica and Kreševo. The Lepenica was mentioned for the first time in 1244 in the charter of the Hungarian king Bela IV, along with other parishes that existed in the area of central Bosnia.

Known members of this family and their genealogy can be established by their appearance in Bosnian medieval state charters. Only seven members of this family are known. All of them were members of the stanak, that is, the assembly of nobility and the state council and close associates of the ruler.

They are recorded on the ruling charters of the kings Tvrtko I, Dabiša, Ostoja and Tvrtko II.

On the stećak, designated by the commission to preserve monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina as No. 2, in the protected necropolis in Zabrđe, there is well-preserved relief of the coat of arms, along with an inscription, an epitaph to the Bosnian Grand Knyaz, Radoje Radosalić Pribinić.
