The State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs (Slovenian: Država Slovencev, Hrvatov in Srbov; Croatian: Država Slovenaca, Hrvata i Srba, Serbian: Држава Словенаца, Хрвата и Срба) was a short-lived state formed from the southernmost parts of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy after its dissolution at the end of the World War I by the resident population of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs. Note that the Serbs referred to in the State's name are those resident in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia-Slavonia (including Syrmia) and Dalmatia (including Boka Kotorska and Montenegrin Littoral), not the populations of the Kingdom of Serbia, Kingdom of Montenegro and Vojvodina (including Banat, Bačka and Baranja).

One day before this, on November 24, 1918, the region of Syrmia, which at first was part of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs, seceded from this state and also joined to the Kingdom of Serbia.
