The Croatan were a Native American tribe living in the coastal areas of what is now North Carolina. They were one of the Algonquian peoples. They were on good terms with English settlers of the Roanoke Island colony, and there has been speculation that the survivors of the colony joined the Croatan.

The Croatan are a fictional tribe of Garou, or werewolves, in White Wolf's roleplaying-game, set in the World of Darkness.
