The Croatian World Games (Croatian: Hrvatske svjetske igre) are an Olympics-style competition pitting autochthonous Croat communities in Croatia and neighbouring nations against each other and Croatian diaspora communities. The event is organized by the Croatian Olympic Committee and the Croatian World Congress.

The first and the second Games were held in Zadar in 2006 and 2010, and the third Games were held in Zagreb in 2014. In the 2010 Games, there were 2,500 participants from 24 countries, competing in 12 events.
