TheLittoral Banovina orLittoral Banate (Croatian:Primorska banovina;Serbian:Приморска бановина /Primorska banovina), was a province (banovina) of theKingdom of Yugoslavia between 1929 and 1939. This province consisted of much of theCroatian region ofDalmatia and parts of present-dayBosnia and Herzegovina and was named for its coastal (maritime) location. The capital city of the Littoral Banovina wasSplit.

According to the 1931Constitution of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia,

The Littoral Banovina is bounded on the north by the southern boundaries already drawn of theSava andVrbas Banovinas as far as the intersection of the limits of the three districts ofJajce,Bugojno, andTravnik (Rakovce, hill 1217). From this point the boundary of the Banovina follows the eastern border of the district of Bugojno, then the northern boundary of the district ofKonjic, to continue along the eastern boundary of the districts of Konjic andMostar up to the intersection of the boundaries of the districts of Mostar,Stolac, andNevesinje. It then continues along the eastern boundary of the district of Stolac, which it includes. On theAdriatic, the boundary of the Banovina passes through theNeretva andPelješac channels to join the maritime frontier of the State.

In 1939, the Littoral Banovina was merged with theSava Banovina and parts of neighboring provinces to create theBanovina of Croatia.

In 1941, theWorld War IIAxis Powers occupied the former area of the Littoral Banovina. Coastal areas fromSplit toZadar were annexed byFascist Italy with the remainder becoming a part of theIndependent State of Croatia. Following World War II, the region was divided betweenCroatia andBosnia and Herzegovina within afederalCommunist Yugoslavia.
