Almaški Kraj (Алмашки Крај) is a part of Novi Sad, Serbia. It is situated between Almaška church and Saborna church and include parts of Podbara and Stari Grad neighborhoods.

It was settled in 1718 by Serb families from village Almaš, who thus named this part of the city Almaški Kraj ("the Almaš quarter"). The Almaš Orthodox church was built here in 1797. It is the largest Orthodox church in Novi Sad. The oldest cultural-scientific institution of Serbia, Matica srpska, is also located in Almaški Kraj.
