Lancovo (pronounced [ˈlaːntsɔʋɔ]) is a settlement on the right bank of the Sava River, opposite Radovljica in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

There is a late Gothic church dedicated to St. Lambert, originally built around 1500 but rebuilt in the 17th century.

The Commission on Concealed Mass Graves in Slovenia has also revealed a site with mass graves with remains of bodies of hundreds of victims of political killings from the period immediately after the Second World War in Zgornja Lipnica near Lancovo.[2][3]
