Sikirevci is a village and municipality in Brod-Posavina County, Croatia. The municipality consists of two settlements: Sikirevci and Jaruge.
==History== The name Sikrevci was first mentioned in 1540 as a river crossing ferry across the Sava river. The second mention of the name is also from the time of Ottoman rule in 1579 when it mentions the village of Sikirevci consisting of 31 houses with their respective properties. After the liberation from the Turks the village was re-established as a military (Grenzer) village. From the mid-18th century the village witnessed advanced urbanization and it became the seat of the 5th company (captaincy) of the Brod regiment. During the 'Canonical Visitation' in 1748, it was established that the village had 41 houses with 298 grown-ups and 100 children. Most of the population were soldiers (Grenzers) and/or common villagers.
