The Municipality of Hrastnik (pronounced [ˈxɾaːstnik] Audio file "Sl-Hrastnik.ogg" not found; Slovene: Občina Hrastnik) is a municipality in central Slovenia. The seat of the municipality is the town of Hrastnik. The area is part of the traditional Styria region. The entire municipality is now included in the Central Sava Statistical Region.
