Brbinj is a small village on the northeast coast of the Croatian island of Dugi Otok. Its population is 76 (as of the 2011 census). It embraces two distinct bays, a four-fingered Jaz bay in the south and the Bura bay in the north. The last one became the main ferry port on the island, being connected to Zadar three times per day (Jadrolinija ferries), and thus shifting the village center from Jaz to Bura bay.

Kuzma i Damjan built in the 14th century.
