Kranj (German: Krainburg) is the fourth largest city in Slovenia, approximately 20km north-west of Ljubljana with a population of 51,225 (2002). The centre of the unofficial Gorenjska (Upper Carniola) region (northwestern Slovenia) is mainly an industrial city with strong electronics industry. It also has a preserved medieval old town at the confluence of the Kokra and the Sava rivers.

The city lies at the busy Ljubljana - Jesenice - Villach (Austria) - Munich (Germany) railway and highway. The airport of Ljubljana (in Brnik) is also very close to Kranj.

The former (until 1918) Austrian province Carniola (Kranjska in Slovenian) was named after this city, which was originally its capital, as well as the Carnian Alps, now bordering Austria and Italy.
