Burgenland Croats (Croatian: Gradišćanski Hrvati, German: Burgenlandkroaten, Hungarian: Burgenlandi horvátok, Slovak: Burgendlandskí Chorváti) are ethnic Croats in the Austrian state of Burgenland, along with Croats in neighboring Hungary and Slovakia.[1]

Around 320,000 residents of Austria identify as of Croat heritage; 56,785 have, as sole or multiple nationality, Croatian citizenship as at 2017.[2] Between 87,000[2] and 130,000[1] of them are Burgenland Croats.

Since 1993, Croatian organizations have appointed their representatives to the Council for National Minorities of the Austrian government.
