Mladen Lorković (1 March 1909 – April 1945) was a Croatian politician and lawyer who became a senior member of the Ustaše and served as the Foreign Minister and Minister of Interior of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) during World War II. Lorković led the Lorković-Vokić plot, an attempt to establish a coalition government between the Ustaše and the Croatian Peasant Party and align the Independent State of Croatia with the Allies.

At a special session of government held on 30 August 1944 in Pavelić's villa, guarded by armed men,[28] Lorković and Vokić were accused of conspiracy against the Poglavnik and Croatia's German ally.[29] Vice President of the Government, Džafer Kulenović, and many others defended them but to no avail.Lorković was kept under house arrest until he was tried before the Poglavnik's Bodyguard Division (PTS) where it was decided that he would be stripped of his rank and expelled from the PTS. After the trial, he was transferred to Koprivnica and later in Lepoglava, alongside Vokić, Farolfi, Ljudevit Tomašić and others, although Košturić later escaped.[29] Lorković was executed at the end of April 1945.
