Cetina (Serbian: Цетина)[2] is a small village, administratively located in the Civljane Municipality in Šibenik-Knin County, Croatia. According to the 2011 census, the village had 195 inhabitants.
Located in inland Dalmatia, north from the town of Vrlika, on the route between towns of Knin and Vrlika, Cetina village spreads on 50.98 km2, on the field near the spring of river Cetina, on altitude of approximately 380 m, just under south base of mountain Dinara.

In the 9th century, probably during the time of Duke Branimir, the old Church of Holy Salvation (Crkva Sv. Spasa) was built in the village.[3] It is one of the oldest and best preserved monuments of the early Croatian sacral architecture.
The Serbian Orthodox Church of the Ascension of the Lord (Hram Vaznesenja Gospodnjeg) was built in 1940 by Marko Četnik and his wife Jelena on the spring of river Cetina. The church was rebuilt in 1974.
"They were built in the following order: Lopuška glavica and Žažvić in the mid century, St. Saviour at Cetina and St. Cecilia during the reign of prince Branimir, followed by St. Stjepan at Otok built before the year of 976."
