Kočapar Branislavljević was a King or Duklja in 1102 - 1103. He was the son of Branisla, Prince of Duklja.

He was brought to power by Grand Prince Vukan of Rascia, while his land has emerged only as a fief of Rascia. He married the daughter of the Bosnian Ban trying to restore old influence in Bosnia, but Bosnia subsequently and slowly seceded from Duklja.

During the numerous wars for leadership over the Serbian lands, Kočopar forged an alliance with Bosnia against Rascia. The alliance was eventually broken by the Prince of Rascia, which since then held hegemony in the region.

Kocopar died in his fights against the Zachlumoi during his attempts to restore Duklja's control over Zachlumia.
