Pongrac (pronounced [pɔŋˈɡɾaːts]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Žalec in east-central Slovenia.

The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms.

[6] Pongrac is the site of two known mass graves from the period immediately after the Second World War.

The Britne Sele Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Britne sele), also known as the Halužan Mass Grave (Grobišče pod Halužanom), is located along a wooded slope, at several leveled areas at the edge of the woods.

It contains the remains of 80 to 100 young Home Guard soldiers transported from the Teharje camp and murdered here on or about 10 June 1945.
