Stari Grad v Podbočju is a settlement to the south of Podbočje in the Krško municipality in eastern Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of Lower Carniola and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Spodnjeposavska statistical region.[2]

The site of a 13th century medieval castle in the settlement was excavated and shown to have been occupied from the Early Iron Age with a Hallstatt period and La Tène period occupation levels. Roman artefacts were also found. By 1581 the site of the castle is known from written sources to have been abandoned.[3]
