Stari Breg (German: Altbacher) is a settlement in the hills to the north of the town of Kočevje in southern Slovenia. It was a village inhabted mostly by Gottschee Germans. At the beginning of the Second World War in 1941 most of its original population was expelled. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia statistical region.[2]

The local church, dedicated to Saint Ursula, was a late 18th century building that was heavily damaged in 1943. It was demolished in the 1960s.[3]
