Karapandža is a Serbian surname derived from a type of "bogeyman" found in Southeast European folklore. Etymologically, it is Ottoman Turkish in origin and literally means "black claw" — see Karakoncolos.

The Jasenovac concentration camp had individual murder victims identified with the surname Karapandža, from Gornja Trebinja, Jazavica and Majske Poljane and from Kupinečki Kraljevec.[1]
