Črnuče (pronounced [tʃəɾˈnuːtʃɛ]; German: Tschernutsch[2]) is a former town in the northern part of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia.

[2] The name is derived from the plural demonym *Čьrnuťane, based on the Slavic personal name *Čьrnutъ, presumably referring to an early inhabitant of the place.

[4] The remains of a prehistoric fortification with embankments was discovered at Tabor Hill (370 m), testifying to early settlement of the area.

The lower part of a French gravestone from this time can also be found along a path in the woods to Spodnje Gameljne.

The church includes a baptismal chapel designed by Jože Plečnik and stations of the cross from the workshop of Leopold Layer (1752–1828).
