Croatia has a Muslim community of approximately 1.5 percent of the population per the 2021 census, numbering roughly 50,000 people. The community is composed predominantly of Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) who have been continuously present in Croatia since the Ottoman era and especially during and after the 1991–1995 Croatian War of Independence and the related Bosnian War, alongside an Albanian Kosovar component, smaller Roma Muslim communities, and recent Middle Eastern and Turkish migrants. The community is overwhelmingly Sunni of the Hanafi school. The Zagreb Mosque (the Islamic Centre of Zagreb), opened in 1987, is the principal congregational center for the Croatian capital and is widely regarded as a model of well-integrated Islamic institutional life in the post-Yugoslav region; the Rijeka Mosque, opened in 2013 with its distinctive twisting concrete architecture by the artist Dušan Džamonja, is among the most architecturally notable in Europe. The Mešihat of the Islamic Community in Croatia (Mešihat Islamske zajednice u Hrvatskoj) is the recognized national authority. eSalah uses MWL; Diyanet is alternate.
