Sanjak of Krka (Turkish: liva Krka, Serbo-Croatian: Krčki sandžak) was a frontier sanjak (serhad) of the Ottoman Empire.
In 1580, Ferhad Pasha Sokolović became the first governor (beylerbey or simply pasha) of the Beylerbeylik of Bosnia. The Bosnia Eyalet (or Pashaluk) comprised a total of ten sanjaks: Sanjak of Bosnia (central province), Sanjak of Herzegovina, Sanjak of Vučitrn, Sanjak of Prizren, Sanjak of Klis, Sanjak of Krka, and Sanjak of Pakrac.
The sanjak had territory from Lika to Krbava, and the areas between Zrmanja and Krka, and had its seat in Knin. It was formed out of territories that had been part of the Sanjak of Klis and Sanjak of Bosnia.
