Croatian Mountain Rescue Service (Croatian: Hrvatska gorska služba spašavanja, HGSS or GSS) is a national, volunteer, humanitarian and nonprofit association specialized for rescue in mountains, rocks and speleological objects in Croatia.

In 2014, members of the Croatian Mountain Rescue service took part in the Riesending cave rescue in Bavaria, Germany, one of the largest and most difficult cave rescues in history.[1]
