Mirkovci (Serbian: Мирковци, Hungarian: Szegfalu) is a village and the suburb of town Vinkovci, in eastern Croatia. It is in the Syrmia region, located immediately southeast of Vinkovci. The Vinkovci-Gunja railway separates it from the rest of the city. The population is 2,673 (census 2001).[1]

In the vicinity, the Roman town of Cibalae (Vinkovci) was the birthplace of Valentinian I in 321.

During the Second World War, 107 ethnic Serbs were transferred and killed in the Jasenovac concentration camp by the Croatian fascist Ustashe[2].

In the beginning of 1991, the 1809 Serbian Orthodox church of Saint Nicholas was destroyed[3] by Croatian police forces shelling from Vinkovci.[4][unreliable source?] During the Croatian War, Mirkovci was under Serb control since the majority of inhabitants were ethnic Serbs[5].

The majority of the inhabitants are ethnic Serbs. A former village, Milovanci (Hungarian: Monostormilvány) is today part of Mirkovci.
