Banat, Bačka, and Baranya (Serbo-Croatian: Banat, Bačka i Baranja / Банат, Бачка и Барања) was a province of the Kingdom of Serbia and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes between 1918 and 1922. It included the geographical regions of Banat, Bačka, and Baranya. Its administrative center was Novi Sad. From November 1918 to February 1919 it was administered by provincial bodies, and later by provincial branches of the state administration. In time, its initial territorial jurisdiction was reduced to Yugoslav parts of those regions, while eastern portions of Banat were ceded to the Kingdom of Romania (1919), and northern parts of Bačka and Baranya to the Kingdom of Hungary (1920). Today, former Yugoslav parts of Banat and Bačka belong to Serbia, while the former Yugoslav part of Baranya belongs to Croatia.
