The Dr. Ivan Šreter Award (Template:Lang-hr) is an annual Croatian linguistics award for the best Croatian language word coined.

The award is named after Dr. Ivan Šreter, a Croatian physician who was sentenced to jail time in Communist Yugoslavia in 1987 [1] for choosing to use the distinct Croatian umirovljeni časnik to refer to himself as a retired officer, rather than using penzionisani oficir.[2] During the Croatian War of Independence he was taken captive by Serb troops and presumably killed, although his remains have not been found as of April 2008.[2]

The contest and the award was initially designed by Stjepan Babić, and it has been organized by the literary magazine Jezik since 1993.[3]
