Pesniški Dvor is a settlement in the Pesnica municipality in northeastern Slovenia. It lies in the valley of the river Pesnica in the traditional region of Lower Styria. The entire municipality is now included in the Drava statistical region.[2]

It gets its name from a 17th-century Baroque mansion (mansion in Slovene: dvor) in the settlement. Until 1935 it was in the possession of St. Paul's Abbey in the Lavanttal. After the Second World War it was used by an agricultural conglomerate. Despite being protected as a monument of cultural heritage by the Slovenian Ministry of Culture, it is in a very bad state of repair.[3]
