Grgo Kusic (1892-1918) was a Croat soldier in the Austro-Hungarian army.

Known as the Gulliver of Dalmatia, the 237 cm Grabovac native was a personal imperial guard to emperor François-Joseph in Vienna.

Grgo stood a little over 7 foot 9 inches tall and was one of history's tallest people. Croatia's tallest person ever, and Austro-Hungary's tallest soldier. The World's currently tallest man, Mongolian Xi Shun, is 9mms shorter than Grgo.
