The Banskobystrická latka is an annual indoor high jump competition which takes place at the Štiavničky Sport Hall in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia.

The first edition was held in the city's Štiavničkách Sports Hall and saw Šárka Kašpárková win the women's contest with a Czech record of 1.95 metres.
Stefan Holm was the winner of the 10th edition in 2003 with a jump of 2.34 m and he went on to take his second World Indoor title two months later.
