White Croatia (also Great Croatia or Chrobatia; , also ) is the region from which part of the White Croats emigrated to the area of modern-day Croatia and lived between 7-10th century.

Some historians believe that, after the migration of the Croats in the 6th-7th century, their former homeland gradually lost its primacy and was influenced by other Slavic peoples, such as Ukrainians (Kievan Rus'), Poles (Duchy of Poland) and Czechs (Great Moravia, Duchy of Bohemia). Others say there was never a distinct polity known as Great or White Croatia. According to the medieval '' Chronicle of the Priest of Duklja'', another area referred to as White Croatia was located south of Posavina along with Red Croatia in Da ...
