Žeje pri Komendi (pronounced [ˈʒɛːjɛ pɾi kɔˈmɛːndi] or [ˈʒeːjɛ pɾi kɔˈmɛːndi]; German: Scheje[2]) is a village in the Municipality of Komenda in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

A second possibility is that the name may be derived from some unknown noun related to Slovene žeja 'thirst', referring to an intermittent spring or dry soil.

[2] Roman-era brick has been found near the village, testifying to its settlement in antiquity.

A village band was established in Žeje pri Komendi in the mid-18th century, conducted by the composer Jakob Frančišek Zupan (1734–1810).

[5] Žeje pri Komendi is the site of two known mass graves from the period immediately after the Second World War.
