Jadrolinija is a Croatian ferry company. It is state-owned and it primarily connects Croatian islands to the mainland by operating regular passenger and cargo transport services. The company mainly operates car ferries on domestic routes along the Croatian coast, as well as international routes across the Adriatic Sea to Italy (to ports at Ancona and Bari).

Jadrolinija currently operates a fleet of 54 vessel: it has several large car ferries; Dalmacija and Marko Polo are used on international routes, mostly to the Italian cities of Bari and Ancona. There are also 38 smaller ferries used for local passenger service, 12 catamarans, and four smaller passenger ships. The fleet's total carrying capacity is 4,708 vehicles and 32,364 passengers.
