Stara Loka (pronounced [ˈstaːɾa ˈloːka]; German: Altlack[2]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Škofja Loka in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

It is one of the oldest Slovene settlements first mentioned in documents concerning the lands Emperor Otto II granted to Bishop Abraham of Freising in the Duchy of Bavaria, dating to 973 AD.

The Saint George's Parish Church is also believed to have been one of the first churches in Carniola and is also one of the oldest parishes, first mentioned in 1074, when it covered the entire area of what is now Škofja Loka.

[5] Opposite the church is a mansion known as Stara Loka Castle (Slovene: Starološki grad) or Strahl Castle (Slovene: Strahlov grad).

It currently houses the Centre for the Blind and Partially Sighted and the Postal Museum.
