Presian, sometimes referred to as Presian II (Bulgarian: Пресиян II; Greek: Προυσιάνος, romanized: Prousianos) was probably the oldest son of the last tsar of the First Bulgarian Empire, Ivan Vladislav (r. 1015–1018), who after the Byzantine conquest of Bulgaria entered Byzantine service, until his involvement in a conspiracy to usurp the throne in c. 1029. He was blinded and tonsured, after which he disappears from the historical record. It is possible, however, that in later life he emigrated to Hungary, as a tombstone of a certain "Prince Presian" has been found, in what is now Slovakia, giving his date of death as 1060/61.
