Tabanovce (Macedonian Cyrillic: Табановце) is a village located in the north of the Republic of Macedonia, situated 8km from the nearest town, Kumanovo.
Its proximity to the border with Serbia gives the local crossing this village's name.
The unusual ending "-ce" (-це) as opposed to "-ci" (-ци) (eg. Kavadarci) reflects the local dialect, which is a form of Torlakian, similar to what is spoken in Kumanovo, and by the Serb population of Preševo.
