Supetar cartulary or Sumpetar cartulary (Croatian: Supetarski kartular) is a 12th century cartulary which contains charters from the years 1080 to 1187.[1]

Although the cartulary itself just lists the possessions of the monastery of St. Peter in Poljice, Croatia and the ways through which they were acquired˙(such as purchase or grants), it also contains few important historical notes. It is preserved in its original form. In its basis, the cartulary is actually is a chronicle of the benedictine monastery which was founded around 1080. by a Croatian dignitary and slave owner Petar Crni (Peter the Black).[2]

Today, it is kept in the treasury of the Cathedral of Saint Domnius in Split.
