Borovo, also known as Borovo Selo (lit. "Borovo Village", to distinguish it from Borovo Naselje suburb which up until 1980 was also a part of the Borovo cadastral community), is a village and a municipality in Vukovar-Syrmia County in eastern Croatia. The settlement is situated on the Danube river on the state border with Serbia and the Municipality of Bač on the other bank. The history of Borovo is closely intertwined with the river which as an recognized international waterway helped in development of Borovo as an important regional industrial center.

The village is named after the word for pines with the name Borovo meaning "of the pines". While being a municipality in its own right, Borovo is closely related with neighboring Vukovar, to which it is physically connected and which absorbed aforementioned Borovo Naselje suburb. Borovo is by population the largest settlement in Croatia in which Serbs of Croatia constitute majority of residents and the settlement with the second largest Serb community in Vukovar-Syrmia in absolute numbers after Serbs of Vukovar.
