Spodnja Zadobrova (pronounced [ˈspoːdnja zaˈdoːbɾɔʋa]; in older sources also Dolenja Zadobrova,[2] German: Untersadobrawa[2]) is a formerly independent settlement in the eastern part of the capital Ljubljana in central Slovenia.

[3] Spodnja Zadobrova is a compact village northwest of Zalog at the transition between higher gravelly land with fields and lower-lying meadows extending north to the Sava River.

The name Zadobrova is a fused prepositional phrase that has lost its case ending, from za 'behind' + dobrova (< Common Slavic *dǫbrova) 'place where there is a deciduous or oak forest', in turn derived from *dǫbъ 'deciduous tree, oak'.

Like similar names (e.g., Dobrova, Dobrovce, Dobrovnik), it originally referred to the local vegetation.

[2] Spodnja Zadobrova was annexed by the City of Ljubljana in 1982, ending its existence as an independent settlement.
