Sveti Štefan (pronounced [ˈsʋeːti ˈʃteːfan], German: St. Stefan[2][3]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Cerknica in central Slovenia.

[5] Sveti Štefan lies in a valley east of the village center of Lipsenj.

Štebrščica Creek (named Lipsenjščica Creek further downstream) has its source east of Sveti Štefan at Obrh Springs, a pair of gushing springs.

Water flows from both of them during periods of heavy rain, and otherwise only from the lower spring.

[6] Sveti Štefan was annexed by Lipsenj in 1952, ending its existence as a separate settlement.
