SD Croatia Berlin is a German football club in Berlin.
The club was founded in 1973 as the ethnically Croatian side NK Croatia Berlin and was re-named NK Hajduk Berlin in 1985. The association continued to grow through the late 80s, merging with SC Bratsvo 1971 Berlin to become SC Bratsvo-Hajduk Berlin in 1987. The following year a number of smaller clubs (NK Livno, NK Velebit, NK Dinamo) came into the fold until finally a January 14, 1989 merger with SV Croatia 1987 Berlin spawned the present-day club.
SD became the first Croatian club in Germany to reach third tier competition when promoted to the Regionalliga Nordost after their 1998 Oberliga Nordost, Staffel Nord (IV) championship. SD spent only a single season at that level before suffering through a series of reverses. They slipped to the Verbandsliga Berlin (V) in 2001, through the Landesliga Berlin (VI) in 2003, to the Bezirksliga Berlin (VII). SD has since returned to the Landesliga where they have played the last two seasons.
SD will compete in the Croatian World Club Championship in 2007.
