Melinovac (Serbian Cyrillic: Мелиновац)[1] is a village in Croatia.
During World War II, as part of their genocide targeting ethnic Serbs, the Croatian fascist Ustaše regime killed about 890 Serbs from Melinovac as well as the nearby village of Ličko Petrovo Selo between June and August 1941. The victims were thrown into a pit.[4]
