Orehek (pronounced [ɔˈɾeːxək], German: Orechek[2]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

Orehek stands on the right bank of the Sava River, between Labore to the north and Drulovka to the south.

[3] Orehek was mentioned in written sources as Nusdorff in 1423 and as Nussdorff in 1481.

[4] It is derived from the common noun oreh 'walnut', referring to the local vegetation.

[8] Orehek was annexed by the city of Kranj in 1957, ending its existence as a separate settlement.
