The Zgošća Column or Zgošćan Column, also Column from Zgošća (Serbo-Croatian: Zgošćanski uspravni stećak) is the only upright stećak tombstone from the medieval archaeological site of Crkvina Necropolis (Zgošća) in Donja Zgošća near Kakanj, Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is a stećak (monumental medieval tombstone) discovered in a gorge of the Zgošća river, near Donja Zgošća village, not far from Kakanj in Bosnia and Herzegovina, on the site called Crkvina Necropolis, with several other stećaks of which most important one is called Zgošća Stećak. It is one of the most representative examples of stećak found in terms of its size, artistic processing and ornamentation. Both column and gable stećak dates back to the 15th century. The both stećaks are relocated from its original location to a botanical garden in the atrium of the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo, where it is kept and displayed for public view.
