Zubin Potok (in Serbian; Зубин Поток) or Zubin Potoku (in Albanian) is a town and municipality in the District of Mitrovica of northern Kosovo. It is a part of North Kosovo, a region with an ethnic Serb majority that formerly functioned largely autonomously from the remainder of the ethnic-Albanian-majority Kosovo. As of 2014, the municipality had a population of 6,537 people.

Zubin Potok is an agricultural community, yet the level of agricultural production has been in decrease due to the lack of investment. Local factories have been also strongly affected by the lack of consumers in the Albanian parts of Kosovo. Since most factories were established as branches of main Serbian factory chains to serve the Kosovo market, their workers are still employed but work and get paid irregularly. A majority of products sold in the municipality are imported from Serbia.
