NK Slavonac is a Croatian football club based in a village Stari Perkovci in Slavonia.

Slavonac clinched promotion to an expanded 1. HNL in 2009 after finishing 4th in the second division. However, since the club plays in a village of only 1,300 people, they were not able to secure a home ground for the top flight in nearby Slavonski Brod and were instead administratively relegated.[1] The club were briefly accused of intentionally dropping points in order to avoid finishing in the promotion places during the season, but firmly denied this.[2]
