Mursko Središće is a town in northern Croatia. Mursko Središće is connected by roads to Čakovec, Podturno and Sv. Martin on the Mura and the border crossing towards Slovenia.

Mursko Središće (Hungarian: Muraszerdahely) is a small town in the far north of Croatia, located on the Croatian border with Slovenia. Mursko Središće has been a town since March 22, 1997. It lies on the right bank of the Mura River and consists of five villages: Hlapičina, Križovec, Mursko Središće, Peklenica, and Štrukovec.

Since 1638, Mursko Središće, along with Podturen, Čakovec, Prelog, Nedelišće, and Štrigova, has been one of the most important towns in Međimurje. The town is one of the oldest settlements. The present-day Church of St. Martin was first mentioned in 1334 under the name Sancti Martini in Zredysche. Historians claim that a settlement called Halicanum existed here during the times of the Old Roman Empire. This settlement played an important role as a stop on the Roman road from Poetovio (Ptuj) to Carnuntum (Petronell). Later, the settlement was known as Mura Zerdahel.
