Stanko Luka Karaman (8 December 1889 – 17 May 1959) was a Yugoslav biologist of Bosnian Serb ancestry, researcher on amphipod and isopod crustaceans.
In 1926 he founded the Museum of South Serbia (later - Macedonian Museum of Natural History) in Skopje and in 1928, the Zoological Garden of Skopje.
Several species are named after him, for example Delamarella karamani Petkovski, 1957 ( Harpacticoida), Stygophalangium karamani Oudemans, 1933 ( Arachnida), or Macedonethes stankoi I. Karaman, 2003 ( Isopoda).
Other taxa named karamani are labeled after his son Gordan S. Karaman, also a carcinologist.
