Stari Grad (Italian Cittavecchia) is a small town on the northern side of the island of Hvar in Dalmatia, Croatia. Its municipality has a population of 2,817 (2001), of which 1,906 are in the town itself.

Stari Grad, literally Old Town, is the place of the oldest human settlement on the island, and one of the first of all the Adriatic islands. It was settled during antiquity, first by an indigenous Hvar culture (who spoke an Indo-European language^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]}) and later by the ancient Greeks. It is very beautiful and warm during the summer months.
