Giorgio Sisgoreo, also known as Juraj Šižgorić^[1] (Latin: Georgius Sisgoreus or Sisgoritus, Croatian: Juraj Šižgorić; ca. 1445–1509) was a Latinist poet from Venetian Dalmatia.

He was the first humanist from Šibenik and the central personality of Šibenik's humanist circle and also one of the most important figures in 15th-century cultural life of the Croatian people.^[2]

His Elegiarum et carminum libri tres ("Book of elegies and poems", Venice, 1477) is considered the first published book by a Croatian poet. American historian J. V. A. Fine emphasizes that Šižgorić and Vinko Pribojević did not consider themselves to be Croats, but rather Slavic-speaking Venetians.^[3]
