The Croatian Army (Croatian: Hrvatska kopnena vojska or HKoV) is the land force branch of the Croatian Armed Forces. It is the largest of its three service branches. The Croatian Army serves as the primary force for defending Croatia against external threats. Its responsibilities include participating in international peace support and humanitarian operations, as well as responding to and mitigating the effects of domestic emergencies caused by natural disasters, technical accidents, or other crises.

The Army is organized into combat units, combat support units, and service support units. Combat units include mechanized and armored-mechanized infantry. Combat support units cover artillery, air defense, engineering, communications, nuclear-biological-chemical defense, military police, and military intelligence. Service support units provide supply, transport, maintenance, and medical/sanitation services.
