Ratko Butorović (17 July 1956 – 8 June 2013) was a Montenegrin businessman of Serbian origin. Born in Nikšić, Butorović qualified as an engineer before becoming wealthy in the 1980s selling Italian clothing.

He was arrested in 2010 on suspicion of match fixing, but was later released without conviction. He died of natural causes in 2013.[1] Butorović was known for his colourful lifestyle. He assumed the alias 'Bata Kan Kan', adopted an extravagant style of dress, and was a friend of the rapper 50 Cent.[1]
