Prapreče pri Šentjerneju (pronounced [ˈpɾaːpɾɛtʃɛ pɾi ʃɛntjɛɾˈnɛːju]; German: Prapretsche[2]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Šentjernej in southeastern Slovenia.

[5] Prapreče pri Šentjerneju is a clustered village on the edge of a terrace about 10 m above a broad stream valley.

[7] The village was first mentioned in written sources in 1304, when the Sicherstein family transferred the manor and ten farms there into the feudal possession of a certain Martin and his wife.

In 1423, two brothers named Freichawer from Vrhovo are recorded as operating two mills in Prapreče belonging to the Prince-Bishopric of Freising.

[5] Archaeological finds at two sites close to the village have shown Late Iron Age and Roman-era occupation.
