Mavčiče (pronounced [ˈmaːu̯tʃitʃɛ]; German: Mautschitsch[2]) is a village on the right bank of the Sava River in the Municipality of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

[3] It lies southwest of Lake Trboje, a reservoir of the Mavčiče Hydroelectric Plant, which is located in the village.

The name may be derived from *Malъčiťi, a plural patronymic from the personal name *Malъkъ, thus referring to an early inhabitant.

An alternate theory is based on the transcription Vuizilinesteti from 973; if this is derived from Old High German luizili 'small' + stat 'town', and if it refers to Mavčiče, then the name could be derived from the plural demonym *Mal(ovьsь)čiťane (literally, 'residents of a small village').

The Mavčiče Hydroelectric Plant began operating in 1987 and has an average yearly capacity of 61 GWh.
