Svetega Petra Hrib (pronounced [ˈsʋeːtɛɡa ˈpeːtɾa ˈxɾːip]; in older sources also Sveti Peter,[2] German: Sankt Peter im Gebirge[2]) is a small settlement in the Municipality of Škofja Loka in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

The name Svetega Petra Hrib means 'Saint Peter's Hill', referring to the location of the village on a hill that rises above Saint Peter's Church in Bodovlje.

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.

[3][4][5] In the past the German name was Sankt Peter im Gebirge.
