Bukovje is a settlement in the hills to the north of Bizeljsko in the Brežice Municipality in eastern Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of Styria. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Spodnjeposavska statistical region.[2]

The local church to the south of the settlement is a pilgrimage church dedicated to Saint Anthony and belongs to the Bizeljsko parish. It was built in the 17th century, vaulted in the 18th century and extended in the 19th century when the belfry was also remodelled.[3]
