The Montenegrin independence referendum of 1992 was the first independence referendum for Montenegrin independence. In this last referendum on remaining in Yugoslavia (from 2003 to 2006 the Federation of Serbia and Montenegro) in 1992, 95.96% of the votes were cast for remaining in the federation with Serbia, although the turnout was barely over 66% because of a boycott by the Muslim and Catholic minorities as well as a part of pro-independence Montenegrins.

The second Montenegrin independence referendum was held 14 years later, on May 21, 2006, and resulted in a 55.5% vote for independence.
