Domanjševci (Hungarian: Domonkosfa, German: Sankt Domenikus) is a village in the Šalovci Municipality in the Prekmurje region of Slovenia, right on the border with Hungary.[2]

There are two churches in the settlement. The Roman Catholic church is built on a small hill to the southwest of the settlement in the middle of a small cemetery and is dedicated to Saint Martin. It is a single nave brick building with a Romanesque portal dating to the 13th century. It was originally dedicated to Saint Wenceslas. The Evangelical church in the settlement was built in 1902 in a Neo-Romanesque style. Its designer was the architect Alojz Kleiber.[3]

The poet, writer and teacher István Szijjártó lived and died in the village.
