Šentjur (pronounced [ʃɛnˈtjùːɾ] ⓘ or [ʃənˈtjùːɾ]; German: Sankt Georgen[3]) is a town in eastern Slovenia.

The town lies on the Voglajna River east southeast of Celje.

The settlement, and the entire municipality, are included in the Savinja Statistical Region, which is in the Slovenian portion of the historical Duchy of Styria.

[4] The name of the settlement was changed from Sveti Jurij pri Celju (literally, 'Saint George near Celje') to Šentjur pri Celju in 1952.

The parish church, which the settlement gets its name from, is dedicated to Saint George (Slovene: sveti Jurij, colloquially šent Jur(ij)) and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Celje.
