Perković is a village in the Šibenik-Knin County, Croatia. The settlement is administered as a part of the city of Šibenik. According to national census of 2011, population of the settlement is 111.^[3]

As the place where the Šibenik and Split branches of the Dalmatian Railway meet (with a single line continuing north towards Knin and connecting with the Lika Railway leading to Zagreb), Perković was a well-known transport hub and railway town during most of the 20th century. The importance of the railway and the town has declined significantly since the 1991–1995 war in Croatia.
