Virovitica County (Croatian: Virovitička županija; Hungarian: Verőce vármegye) was an administrative subdivision (županija) of the Medieval Kingdom of Croatia, the Kingdom of Slavonia and the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia. Slavonia was an autonomous kingdom within both Croatia and Hungary, themselves within the Habsburg Monarchy/Austrian Empire; Croatia-Slavonia, its successor, was an autonomous kingdom within the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen (Transleithania), the Hungarian part of Austria-Hungary. Its territory is now in eastern Croatia. The name of the county comes from the town of Virovitica (Hungarian: Verőce). The capital of the county moved from Virovitica to Osijek (Croatian; Hungarian: Eszék) in the late 18th century.
