Marija Gradec (pronounced [maˈɾiːja ˈɡɾaːdəts]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Laško in eastern Slovenia. It lies on the left bank of the Savinja River, just south of the town of Laško. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Savinja Statistical Region.
