The Croatian State Archives (Croatian: Hrvatski državni arhiv) are the national archives of Croatia located in its capital, Zagreb. The history of the state archives can be traced back to the 17th century. There are also regional state archives located in Bjelovar, Dubrovnik, Gospić, Karlovac, Osijek, Pazin, Rijeka, Sisak, Slavonski Brod, Split, Varaždin, Vukovar and Zadar.

The archives have more than 29,000 records, with the oldest ones being from the years 999-1089. They store records that were made due to the activities of governmental central bodies, cultural, educational, military, and health institutions, administration of justice, and Croatian immigrants, as well as records that were made by distinguished families and individuals.
