Adria oil pipeline (Croatian: Jadranski naftovod, Hungarian: Adria-kőolajvezeték; also known as Yugoslav Pipeline and JANAF pipeline) is a crude oil pipeline in Croatia, Serbia, and Hungary with branch lines to Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The idea of the Adria pipeline was first discussed in 1964 by Yugoslav officials. The plan proposed in October 1965 foresaw a pipeline with a capacity of about 10 million tonnes per annum to supply Yugoslav refineries in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Vojvodina in Serbia with a branch line to the Hungarian border or through Ljubljana to Graz in Austria. The project foresaw to supply refineries in Sisak, Lendava, Bosanski Brod, Novi Sad and Pančevo. In June 1966 it was published that the pipeline was to have a diameter of 510 millimetres (20 in) and that the first 176 kilometres (109 mi) long section would lead from Bakar or Rijeka to Sisak. The annual capacity of the Bakar-Sisak section was scheduled to 17 million tonnes. From Sisak, the 107 kilometres (66 mi) long northern branch was to be extend to the border town of Botovo, 20 kilometres (12 mi) from the Hungarian pipeline between Nagykanizsa and Budapest. The 135 kilometres (84 mi) long eastern branch was to be extend to Bosanski Brod on the Sava River, and from there for about 84 kilometres (52 mi) to the Danubian port of Vukovar. A completion date for the Bosanski Brod-Vukovar section was set on 1 May 1968. In addition, a branch from Bosanski Brod to the Danubian port of Pančevo near Belgrade was foreseen. This proposal was supported Croatian authorities and INA oil company. Another proposal about a 328 kilometres (204 mi) long pipeline from the port of Ploče through Sarajevo to Bosanski Brod and then to Vukovar, preferred by Bosnian and Serbian authorities and companies, was disapproved.
