Plješivica or Plješevica (pronounced [pʎɛ̌ʃɛʋitsa]), also called Lička Plješevica (i.e., "Plješevica of Lika"), is a mountain in Croatia and on the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina, part of the Dinaric Alps. It stretches in the direction north–south, and it extends from the mountain pass that separates it from Mala Kapela, along the Krbava field to the west and the Una River canyon to the east, and ending near Gračac where it touches on Velebit.
