The Slovene-Croatian Peasant Revolt (Slovene: slovensko-hrvaško kmečki upor, Croatian: seljačka buna), Gubec's Rebellion (Croatian: Gupčeva buna) or Gubec's peasant uprising of 1573 was a large peasant revolt on territory forming modern-day northwestern Croatia and southeastern Slovenia. The revolt, sparked by cruel treatment of serfs by Baron Ferenc Tahy and led by Matija Gubec, ended after 12 days with the defeat of the rebels and bloody retribution by the nobility.
