Croatian Bloc (Croatian: Hrvatski blok, HB) is a right-wing political party in Croatia.

It was founded in 2002 following the convention of the Croatian Democratic Union at which Ivić Pašalić failed to unseat his main rival Ivo Sanader. Pašalić and his followers founded the new party, accusing Sanader both of winning the convention by undemocratic means and straying from the nationalist legacy of Franjo Tuđman.

The new party, however, didn't attract the majority of HDZ supporters who rallied around Sanader during the 2003 parliamentary elections. Croatian Bloc failed to enter Croatian Parliament.

On May 31, 2008, the Croatian Bloc Council decided that the party will end its activities effective August 31, 2008.[3]
