Šmihel (pronounced [ʃmiˈxeːu̯]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Laško in eastern Slovenia.

It lies on a hill above the right bank of the Savinja River, just west of Laško.

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

[2] The local church, from which the settlement gets its name, is dedicated to Saint Michael and belongs to the Parish of Laško.

Four of an original seven mid-17th century chapel-shrines representing the Stations of the Cross still survive along the road leading up the hill to the church.
