Smečice (pronounced [ˈsmeːtʃitsɛ]) is a small settlement in the hills west of Krško in eastern Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of Lower Carniola. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Lower Sava Statistical Region.[2]

There is a small chapel-shrine in the settlement. It is dedicated to the Holy Family and was built in the late 19th century.[3]
