The Croats (Hrvati in Croatian, Chorvati in Slovak) are an ethnic minority in Slovakia, numbering 890 people according to the 2001 census, although the relatively compact Croatian community may number as many as 3000 people. Croats mainly live in the Bratislava Region,

Traditionally Croat-populated villages in Slovakia are Chorvátsky Grob (Hrvatski Grob), Čunovo, Devínska Nová Ves (Devinsko Novo Selo), Rusovce (Rosvar) and Jarovce (Hrvatski Jandrof).

Croatian organzations in Slovakia include the Croatian Cultural Alliance as well as several smaller folklore groups.
