Šmarjeta pri Celju (pronounced [ʃmaˈɾjéːta pɾi ˈtsɛ̀ːlju]) is a settlement in the City Municipality of Celje in eastern Slovenia.

[2] The name of the settlement was changed from Sveta Marjeta (literally, 'Saint Margaret') to Šmarjeta pri Celju in 1964.

The foundation of a wealthier Roman house was discovered on the western edge of the settlement, at Janžek Hill (Slovene: Janžekov grič).

In the middle ages, together with neighboring Škofja Vas, Šmarjeta pri Celju was feudal property under the domain of the bishops of Gurk.

The Hmezad Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Hmezad) lies about 225 meters (738 ft) east of the intersection in the settlement, 125 meters (410 ft) east of the bridge across the Hudinja River, where two hop fields are located.
