Croatian Bloc (Croatian: Hrvatski blok, HB) is a right-wing political party in Croatia.
It was founded in 2002 following the convention of Croatian Democratic Union on which Ivić Pašalić failed to unseat his main rival Ivo Sanader. Pašalić and his followers founded new party, accusing Sanader both of winning the convention by undemocratic means and straying from nationalist legacy of Franjo Tuđman.
The new party, however, didn't attract majority of HDZ supporters who rallied around Sanader during the 2003 parliamentary elections. HB failed to enter Croatian Parliament.
