Croats of Serbia (Serbian: Хрвати у Србији, romanized: Hrvati u Srbiji) or Serbian Croats (Serbo-Croatian: Српски Хрвати / Srpski Hrvati) are a recognized national minority in Serbia. According to the 2022 census, the population of ethnic Croats in Serbia is 39,107, constituting 0.6% of the total population. The vast majority of them live in the northern autonomous province of Vojvodina, where they number 32,684 and make up 1.9% of the province's population. An additional 11,104 people declared themselves as Bunjevci in the 2022 census; there are differing views whether Bunjevci should be regarded as Croats or as members of a distinct ethnic group. The majority of the Sokac community consider themself as Croats. Not all Croats have Bunjevac or Sokac ancestors.
