Zakriž (pronounced [zaˈkɾiːʃ]) is a settlement northwest of Cerkno in the traditional Littoral region of Slovenia.

Zajegrščica Creek flows southeast through the village, eventually joining the Cerknica River in Cerkno.

The Zakriž Mass Grave (Grobišče Zakriž), also known as the Slope Mass Grave (Grobišče v Rebrah),[5] lies southwest of the village core, on the steep western slope of Big Kovk Hill (Veliki Kovk), below a series of cliffs below a forest path.

It contains the remains of 22 or 23 civilians that were taken from the prison in Cerkno or held for forced labor, and who were murdered by the Partisans on March 21 or 22, 1945.

It is built of stone and has an arched niche with a wooden statue of Saint Anthony of Padua, a triangular gable, and a double-pitched roof.
