Zgornja Ložnica is a village in the Slovenska Bistrica municipality in northeastern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Styria. It is now included with the rest of the municipality into the Podravje statistical region.[2]

The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Wenceslas (Slovene: Sveti Venčeslav) and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Maribor. It was built in the 13th century, during the rule of Ottokar II of Bohemia who was also Duke of Styria in the mid 13th century. It is currently the only church in the territory of Slovenia dedicated to this saint after the church in Domanjševci was rededicated to Saint Martin. It has numerous additions over the following centuries.[3]
