Šćedro ( ) is a small Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea, lying south of Hvar opposite the village of Zavala. It covers with a deeply indented north coast, forming well-sheltered anchorages such as Lovišće (Veli porat) and Mostir. The island's Croatian name is commonly said to derive from štedri (“bountiful/merciful”) in Old Slavic, referring to its protective coves. In antiquity it was known as Tauris (It. Tauricola/Torcola).
