Muncimir (or sometimes Mutimir) was a knez of Dalmatian Croatia who reigned from 892 to 910. He was a member of the House of Trpimirović.
Muncimir was the third son of Trpimir I and brother of Petar and Zdeslav. Muncimir succeeded Branimir in 892 as the Prince of Croatia, restoring the line of the House of Trpimirović to the throne of Croatia. He reigned from Biaći near Trogir (today in Kaštela). Muncimir took control of Littoral Croatia and ruled it independently of both pope and Byzantium as divino munere Croatorum dux (with God's help, Prince of the Croats).
Duke Muncimir restored to the Archbishopric of Split the lands that were taken away from it and given to the Bishopric of Nin by Branimir. In his charter, in which he reinforces his father's decisions about church lands, for the first time we can see the organization of the prince's court. Also, for the first time, the royal seal (anulo) was mentioned.
During Muncimir's reign, the exiled Prince Petar Gojniković of the Serbian House of Vlastimirović that stayed in Dalmatian Croatia returned to Rascia and seized power there. Prince Petar exiled his cousins who were pretenders to the Grand Princely throne: Pribislav, Bran and Stefan; whom Muncimir received and put under his protection.
He was succeeded by Tomislav, first king of Croatia. The family relationship between Muncimir and Tomislav is unknown; Tomislav was probably Muncimir's son.
