The Podvinje shooting was an act of mass murder that occurred in the village of Podvinje, near Slavonski Brod, Croatia on April 14, 1998 at about 10 p.m., when 50-year-old Antun Mataić (also reported as Antun Matajić-Tunja) opened fire at guests in the café "Trenk" with a semi-automatic rifle, killing six men and one woman, and seriously wounding a 44-year-old man. He then drove away in his car and committed suicide a few kilometres away from the crime scene either by exploding a hand grenade, or by setting his vehicle on fire and shooting himself.
Mataić (born May 8, 1947 in Završje, Brod–Posavina County) had already threatened people in the café with murder a few days prior to the shooting.

Wounded was Ilija Reljanović, 44.
