Mrčara is a small uninhabited island in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea, located west of the islands of Prežba and Lastovo in southern Dalmatia. Its highest peak is 123 m above sea level and its coastline is 7.8 km long.[1] A small jetty on the east coast of the island with a small seasonal restaurant services boat traffic.

In July 2011 the island hosted its first paintball game. Clear-shelled and filled paintballs were used so as not to leave any marks on the island's historical fortifications and tunnel complexes.[2]

The island also hosts all weekend and all week Airsoft games as of July 2010.
