Karadžićevo () is a village in Croatia, municipality Markušica, Vukovar-Syrmia County.

History Until 1920, the village was called Križevci. The settlement was originally a pustara, a Pannonian type of hamlet. A colonist settlement was established there in the course of the land reform in interwar Yugoslavia. Serbian volunteers settled the village and changed its name into Karadžićevo. The village was named after Vuk Karadzic. During the Croatian War of Independence, Karadžićevo was controlled by the self-proclaimed SAO Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia. Croat special police stationed in Varaždin attacked the village which made it suffer major damage although the SAO won the battle.
