left|thumb|The medieval Church of St Nicholas in Kalotina Kalotina ( ) is a village in the Dragoman Municipality, Sofia Province, in westernmost central Bulgaria. As of 2010, it has 270 inhabitants and the mayor is Lidia Bozhilova. The village is located at the border with Serbia, 55 km to the northwest of the capital Sofia, on the main highway and railway between Western Europe and Asia. Kalotina lies at , 282 metres above sea level. The place is known for the Kalotina-Gradinje border checkpoint, one of Bulgaria's busiest and best known due to the proximity to Sofia. The Nishava River, a tributary of the South Morava, flows nearby.
The village was first mentioned in 1453 with its present name. In a 1576 source, it was referred to as Kalotine. Kalotina's name is the feminine form of an adjective derived from the personal name Kalota (Калота); it is an ellipse, as no noun is part of the name.
