Buševec is the name of a Croatian village that falls under the administration of the town of Velika Gorica.

Situated near the border to the Ottoman Empire, Buševec suffered during the 16th century a high number of Turkish attacks which reduced the number of inhabitants significantly.

In the 17th century new "pleme", i.e. kin, settled in Buševec, most of them living there until today.

For reasons unknown at the beginning of the 20th century, the chapel was devoted to John the Baptist.

As a result of a high number of fatal fires in 1900 a volunteer fire department was established, in 1908 a 5-year-primary school opened, and in 1934 the sport-club "Seljak" ("Farmer") which is today named "Polet", was founded.
