Paloc is a village in the municipality of Gornji Vakuf, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Palóc are a subgroup of Hungarians in Northern Hungary and southern Slovakia. While the Palóc have retained distinctive traditions, including a very apparent dialect of Hungarian, the Palóc are also ethnic Hungarians by general consensus. Although their origins are unclear, the Palóc seem to be the descendants of the Khazar, Kabar, Pechenegs and Cuman tribes. The writings of Kálmán Mikszáth gave new prominence to the people in 1882 with his work The Good People of Palóc. The Palóc village of Hollóko was proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.

Pavlovce nad Uhom (Romani: Pavlovcis, ) is a village and municipality in the Slovakian district of Michalovce, which lies in the Eastern Slovak Kosice Region.
