The Croatian men's national ice hockey team is the Ice hockey team that represents Croatia at International Ice Hockey Federation events. Less than a year after declaring independence from Yugoslavia, Croatia was admitted into the IIHF on May 6th, 1992. Croatia would make their international debut in 1993 when they participated in the 1993 Men's Ice Hockey World Championships, handily losing both of their games to fellow Yugoslavian breakaway state, Slovenia.

The highest division Croatia has ever reached is Division I B, which they have been in on numerous occasions, including for five straight years from 2014 to 2018. Croatia's best ever finish at the Ice Hockey World Championships was a second place finish in Division I B of the 2014 tournament (24th overall) where they missed out on promotion to Division I A by just two points as Poland finished one point ahead and had beat Croatia earlier in the tournament, giving them the tiebreaker.
