Zapotok (pronounced [zaˈpɔːtɔk]; German: Sapotok[2]) is a village in the hills south of Ig in central Slovenia.

[3] During the Second World War, Italian forces burned the village on March 19, 1942.

[4] On July 23, 1942, Italian forces shot fourteen men as hostages in Zapotok;[5] they are all buried at the cemetery on Kurešček Hill in Visoko.

It was initially used to raise cattle, then to produce plastic for a year, then converted into a factory for wooden ware, and finally into a poultry feedlot.

The Zapotok Narrow Shaft Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Ozko brezno pri Zapotoku), also known as the Viper Cave Mass Grave (Grobišče Gadova jama), is located on the wooded slope of a steep valley 10 meters (33 ft) south of the road between Zapotok and Četež pri Turjaku.
