Šentjanž nad Dravčami is a settlement in the Pohorje hills in the Vuzenica municipality in northern Slovenia. Traditionally the area was part of Styria. It is now included in the Carinthia statistical region.[2]

The local church from which the settlement gets its name is dedicated to John the Baptist (Slovene: Sveti Janez Krstnik or Šentjanž) and belongs to the Vuzenica parish. It developed from an early 14th century chapel that was extended in the 15th century.[3]
