Jan Muskata (1250 – 1320) was bishop of Kraków from 1294 to 1309.
John Muskata was educated in Bologna and became bishop in 1294. He supported Premislas II of Poland, but after his assassination he joined the side of Venceslaus II of Bohemia. He served as his vice-chancellor in 1301 and also worked with his son.
Muskata, was the son of a German spice trader, thus the name Muskata (Muskat is German for nutmeg. He favored the German settlers and priests in Cracow and surrounding territory and antagonized the ruling elites of Poland including the Archbishop of Gniezno Jakub Swinka and the new Polish monarch Władysław I the Elbow-high. .
When Władysław I the Elbow-high took hold of Cracow, the bishop was in strong opposition to Władysław, who he excommunicated. In response Władysław had him imprisoned in 1308, which led the bishop to appeal to the Pope. The bishop was released in 1309. Under Vogt Albert and with Muskata's support, the Craków burgher's revolted in 1311 against Wladislaw, but were suppressed. Bishop Muskata was by Jakub Swinka of Gniezno declared "an enemy of the Polish People."
His successor as bishop of Kraków was Bishop Nanker.
