Pavel Kristián z Koldína (1530-1589) was a lawyer and writer.
He held several key positions in Prague: rector of the Latin school, dean of Charles University (from 1561), and chancellor of the Old Town from 1565 to 1584.
In 1569, he and Jiří Melantrichaz Aventýna drafted the code of urban law of the Kingdom of Bohemia (Práva městská Království českého).
The Code came into force in 1697, and applied until the Austrian Allgemeines bürgerliches Gesetzbuch / General Civil Code came into force in 1812.
