Horjul (pronounced [xɔˈɾjuːl]) is a small town in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.

It developed from a clustered village on the north side of the marshy valley of Horjulka Creek.

[5] In the local dialect the town is known as Hrjuj or Hurjujc in the lowlands, and as Frjuj or Frjujc in the hills above the settlement.

[3] Although the finds have since been lost, this late Iron Age site is the only evidence of a Celtic presence in the Horjul Valley.

[10] The mayor of Horjul, Janez (or Ivan) Bastič and his wife Marjana were abducted, tortured, and murdered by the Partisans on 14 June 1942.

[10] The parish church in the town of Horjul is dedicated to Saint Margaret and belongs to the Ljubljana Archdiocese.

It lies in the northern part of the town, northwest of the school and Saint Margaret's Church.
