Gaj is a settlement just east of Pragersko in the Slovenska Bistrica municipality in northeastern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Styria. It is now included with the rest of the municipality into the Podravje statistical region.[2]

At the Žutreki archaeological site, to the north of the settlement, numerous Bronze Age and Roman artefacts were discovered during field surveys. In 2003 the site was partially excavated and traces of wooden prehistoric structures were discovered.[3]
