Svibnik (pronounced [ˈsʋiːbnik]; German: Swibnik[2]) is a settlement immediately west of Črnomelj in the White Carniola area of southeastern Slovenia.

[3] The name Svibnik (and related names such as Svibno) are derived from the Slovene common noun sviba 'dogwood', referring to the local vegetation.

[2] During the Second World War, on 26 July 1942 Italian forces based in Črnomelj burned eight houses and 21 farm buildings in Svibnik.

In 1943 and 1944 the Partisans operated an elementary school in the settlement.
