Sveti Jurij ob Ščavnici (pronounced [ˈsʋeːti ˈjuːɾii̯ ɔp ˈʃtʃaːu̯nitsi]; German: St. Georgen an der Stainz) is a settlement in northeastern Slovenia.

[3] The settlement was known as Videm ob Ščavnici (literally, 'church property on the Ščavnica River') until 1997.

Mistakenly assuming that the name had been changed from a religious name under communist Yugoslavia, the municipal authorities changed it to match the parish name Sveti Jurij ob Ščavnici (literally, 'Saint George on the Ščavnica River') on January 22, 1997.

[4][5][6] The local parish church is dedicated to Saint George (Slovene: Sveti Jurij) and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Murska Sobota.
