Gorica pri Šmartnem (pronounced [ɡɔˈɾiːtsa pɾi ˈʃmaːɾtnɛm]) is a settlement in the City Municipality of Celje in eastern Slovenia. It lies on the eastern outskirts of the town of Celje. The area was traditionally part of the Styria region. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Savinja Statistical Region.[2]

The name of the settlement was changed from Gorica to Gorica pri Šmartnem in 1953.[3]

The Prešnik Mansion in the northern part of the settlement was built in the late 17th century on the site of an earlier building and retains its Baroque features despite extensive 19th-century rebuilding.[4]
