Bulgarians in Croatia (Croatian: Bugari Hrvatske, Bulgarian: Българи в Хърватия) are one of 22 national minorities in Croatia. According to the last census from 2011, there were 872 Bulgarians living in Croatia, most of them in Zagreb.

Bulgarians are officially recognized as an autochthonous national minority, and as such, they elect a special representative to the Croatian Parliament, shared with members of eleven other national minorities.[2]
