Ferdinand I of Bulgaria (1861–1948) was a German-born prince of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha-Koháry, the son of Prince August of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Princess Clémentine of Orléans, daughter of King Louis-Philippe I of France.

He reigned as Prince of Bulgaria from 1887 to 1908 and as Tsar from 1908 until his abdication in 1918. Under his leadership, Bulgaria transformed from an autonomous principality into a fully independent kingdom. In 1908, Ferdinand proclaimed Bulgaria’s independence from the Ottoman Empire, while playing a central role in the modernisation of the country and the development of its industry, military, infrastructure and cultural institutions.
