Negara Merdeka Croatia (; ; ) adalah sebuah negara boneka fasis Jerman"Independent State of Croatia", Britannica Online Encyclopedia; retrieved 8 September 2009."Croatia" .

Archived 31 October 2009. dan Itali semasa Perang Dunia Kedua. Ia telah ditubuhkan di bahagian Yugoslavia yang diduduki pada 10 April 1941, selepas pencerobohan kuasa Paksi. Wilayahnya terdiri daripada kebanyakan Croatia moden dan Bosnia dan Herzegovina, serta beberapa bahagian Serbia moden dan Slovenia.

Semasa kewujudannya, NDH telah ditadbir sebagai sebuah negara satu parti oleh organisasi Ustaše fasis. Ustaše dipimpin oleh Poglavnik, Ante Pavelić."Poglavnik" was a term coined by the Ustaše, and it was originally used as the title for the leader of the movement. In 1941 it was institutionalized in the NDH as the title of first the Prime Minister (1941–43), and then the head of state (1943–45). It was at all times held by Ante Pavelić (1889 – 1959) and became synonymous with him. The translation of the term varies. The root of the word is the Croatian word "glava", meaning "head" ("Po-glav(a)-nik"). The more literal translation is "head-man", while "leader" captures a of the meaning of the term (in relation to the German "Führer" and Italian "Duce"). Rejim ini mensasarkan bangsa Serbia, Yahudi dan Romani sebagai sebahagian daripada kempen genosid besar-besaran, serta anti-fasis atau penentang Croat dan Muslim.

Antara tahun 1941–45, 22 buah kem tahanan wujud didalam wilayah yang dikawal oleh Negara Merdeka Croatia, dua di antaranya (Jastrebarsko dan Sisak) menempatkan kanak-kanak sahaja dan yang terbesar ialah Jasenovac.Listing of WWII concentration camps by country, Jewishvirtuallibrary.org; accessed 4 December 2015.Concentration camps other than Jasenovac in the Independent State of Croatia, Holocaustresearchproject.org; accessed 4 December 2015.

Negara ini secara rasminya menjadi pemerintahan beraja selepas menandatangani Undang-Undang Mahkota Zvonimir pada 15 Mac 1941.Hrvatski Narod (newspaper)16.05.1941. no. 93. p.1., Public proclamation of theZakonska odredba o kruni Zvonimirovoj (Decrees on the crown of Zvonimir), tri članka donesena 15.05.1941.Die Krone Zvonimirs, Monatshefte fur Auswartige Politik, Heft 6 (1941) pg. 434. Di tabalkan oleh Victor Emmanuel III dari Itali, Putera Aimone, Duke Aosta pada mulanya enggan menerima mahkota tersebut sebagai membantah pengilhakan Itali ke atas wilayah Dalmatia yang majoritinya diduduki orang Croat, diilhak sebagai sebahagian daripada agenda irredentis Itali mewujudkan Mare Nostrum ("Laut Kami").Jozo Tomašević. War and Revolution in Yugoslavia, 1941–1945: Occupation and Collaboration: 1941–1945: Occupation and Collaboration. Stanford University Press, 2001. pg. 300. Beliau kemudian secara singkat menerima takhta tersebut kerana mendapat tekanan dari Victor Emmanuel III dan diberi gelaran Tomislav II dari Croatia, tetapi tidak pernah berpindah dari Itali untuk menetap di Croatia.

Dari penandatanganan Persetiaan Rome pada 18 Mei 1941 hingga penyerahan Itali pada 8 September 1943, negara merdeka croatia adalah kondominium jajahan Jerman dan Itali.Tomasevich, 2001, p. 60. "Thus on 15 April 1941, Pavelić came to power, albeit a very limited power, in the new Ustasha state under the umbrella of German and Italian forces. On the same day German Führer Adolf Hitler and Italian Duce Benito Mussolini granted recognition to the Croatian state and declared that their governments would be glad to participate with the Croatian government in determining its frontiers."Graubard, Stephen R. (1993). Exit from Communism. p. 153. Transaction Publishers; "Mussolini and Hitler installed the Ustašas in power in Zagreb, making them the nucleus of a dependent regime of the newly created Independent State of Croatia, an Italo-German condominium predicated on the abolition of Yugoslavia."Frucht, Richard C. (2005). Eastern Europe: An Introduction to the People, Lands, and Culture. p. 429. ABC-CLIO; "The NDH was in fact an Italo-German condominium. Both Nazi Germany and fascist Italy had spheres of influence in the NDH and stationed their own troops there."Banac, Ivo (1988). With Stalin Against Tito: Cominformist Splits in Yugoslav Communism. Cornell University Press, pg. 4;  Dalam penghakimannya di Perbicaraan Tebusan, Tribunal Tentera Nuremberg menyimpulkan bahawa NDH bukan sebuah negara berdaulat. Menurut Tribunal, "Croatia was at all times here involved an occupied country".

Pada tahun 1942, Jerman mencadangkan Itali mengambil alih semua kawalan tentera Croatia kerana keinginannya untuk mengalihkan tentera Jerman dari Croatia ke Barisan Timur. Itali bagaimanapun menolak tawaran itu kerana ia percayai tidak mampu mengurus sendiri situasi tidak stabil di Balkan.Jonathan Steinberg. All Or Nothing: The Axis and the Holocaust, 1941–1943, pg. 44. Selepas penyingkiran Mussolini dan gencatan senjata Itali dengan pihak Sekutu, NDH pada 10 September 1943 mengisytiharkan bahawa Persetiaan Rome terbatal dan mengilhak bahagian Dalmatia yang sebelum ini diserahkan kepada Itali. NDH cuba mengilhak Zara, yang telah diakui wilayah Itali sejak tahun 1919 tetapi  menjadi objek lama irredentisme Croatia, namun Jerman tidak membenarkannya.
