Malinska-Dubašnica is a municipality in the Primorje-Gorski Kotar county on the island Krk of in western Croatia. Its centre is Malinska. There were 3,212 inhabitants, of whom 90% were ethnic Croats at the 2021 census.[3] It was established as a municipality in 1993.[4][5]

The municipal government is located in the town hall. Built in 1920, it is the former hotel Jadran.[6]

The name of the municipality comes from the former village of Dubašnica. It had been the seat of the municipality grouping the villages of modern Malinska-Dubašnica for centuries before its disappearance by a malaria epidemic in the 18th century. Today, Dubašnica can also refer to a region that covers the same villages and territory as Malinska-Dubašnica.[7] The name is derived from "Dub", an old Slavic word for oak. [8] Oak forests made the island attractive for ship builders, dating to Liburnian times.[9]

Malinska harbor was used as a port due to its protection from bura wind as well as its depth. [10]
