Žegar (Serbian Cyrillic: Жегар) is a historical settlement in the mountainous Bukovica region, above the Zrmanja River, not far from the Krupa Monastery. The village itself lied above the Žegar Field, from where the population had long "jumped into" (i.e. guerilla warfare) the Dinara, the Venetian-Ottoman border for centuries. Today, the historical region includes the villages of Kaštel Žegarski, , , and , which are all administratively part of the Obrovac Municipality. The inhabitants are predominantly ethnic Serbs.
