Preški Vrh is a dispersed settlement in the hills to the south of Ravne na Koroškem in the Carinthia region in northern Slovenia.[2]

The Slovene writer Prežihov Voranc lived in the settlement in his youth. Though he was born in neighbouring Podgora, he derived his pen name from the Prežih farmsetad that his father bought in 1911. The house is now a small museum and a bronze sculpture of the writer made by Stojan Batič was erected closeby.[3]
