Medvedjek (pronounced [mɛˈdʋeːdjɛk]; in older sources also Medvešček,[2] German: Bärnberg[2]) is a settlement east of Veliki Gaber in the Municipality of Trebnje in eastern Slovenia.

The municipality is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.

[3] On 28 June 1991 during the Slovenian Independence War a Yugoslav People's Army tank column came under attack at a truck barricade at Medvedjek.

[4] Medvedjek was a hamlet of Veliki Gaber until 1992, when it was administratively separated and made an independent settlement.

When it was being built in the early 1980s an Iron Age and Roman-period burial ground was uncovered and partially excavated.
