Mali Lipoglav (pronounced [ˈmaːli ˈliːpɔɡlau̯]; also archaic Lipoglov,[2] German: Lipoglou[2] or Kleinlipoglau[3]) is a settlement in central Slovenia.

The name appears to be a compound of lipa 'linden' + glava 'hilltop', supposedly meaning 'hilltop covered with linden trees.'

However, the early attestations of the name indicate that it is actually derived from *Lupoglav, presumably from *lupъ 'bare, exposed', thus meaning 'bare hilltop'.

[3] The remains of a prehistoric Celtic trench were discovered at the Janez Bozja farm.

[6] The local parish church is dedicated to Saint Nicholas and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Ljubljana.
