Huda Jama is a settlement to the east of Laško in east-central Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of the Lower Styria region. It is now included with the rest of the Municipality of Laško in the Savinja statistical region.[2]

The Commission on Concealed Mass Graves in Slovenia has revealed a site of a mass grave with remains of bodies of hundreds of victims of political killings from the period immediately after the Second World War in a nearby abandoned coal mine known as the Barbara Pit.[3]
