Emerik (Mirko) Derenčin (Hungarian Imre Derencsény) was the ban of Croatia along with Ivan Bot in 1493 during the Battle of Krbava field.

Derenčin was the commander of the Hungarian-Croatian troops at this battle near Udbina against the Ottoman Empire's forces. It was here that the Croats suffered a devastating loss. Derenčin himself along with several dukes were taken captive and killed. This defeat was one of the worst of the Ottoman-Croatian wars for the Croats and left thousands dead.
