Novoseoci (Serbian Cyrillic: Новосеоци) is a village in the municipality of Sokolac, Bosnia and Herzegovina[1] with cold and temperate climate.[2]

The settlement's population is completely Bosniak and is mainly engaged in animal breeding and agriculture. Before the Bosnian War, the settlement was compact with about 40 houses.

The mosque was rebuilt in 2007, and few residents returned to Novoseoci.
