Šentrupert (pronounced [ʃɛnˈtɾúːpɛɾt, - ʃənˈ-]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Laško in eastern Slovenia.

It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Savinja Statistical Region.

The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms.

[3][4] The name Sveti Rupert was restored in a contracted form in 1994 as Šentrupert.

[5][6] The local parish church, from which the settlement gets its name, is dedicated to Saint Rupert and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Celje.
