Veličná (Hungarian: Nagyfalu) is a village and municipality in Dolný Kubín District in the Žilina Region of northern Slovakia.

In the middle ages, the town was known also under the name Welkeg Wsy (Veľké Vsy, The Big Village) and the Hungarized forms Nag Flaw and Naghffalva.

The settlement grew in a relatively sparsely populated borderland area on an important trade route to Poland.

In the 16th century, the region suffered several uprisings, which led George Thurzo to grant its citizens additional privileges to improve the economic situation.

In 1683, the town was sacked by Lithuanian troops led by Jan Kazimierz Sapieha the Younger en route to the Battle of Vienna.
