Hrastje–Mota (Slovene: Hrastje-Mota) is a settlement in the Municipality of Radenci in northeastern Slovenia. As its compound name suggests, it is made up of two settlements: the hamlets of Hrastje and Mota, both lying on the right bank of the Mura River.[2]

There is a small chapel in the center of Hrastje and a chapel-shrine in the centre of Mota. The chapel in Hrastje was built in 1900 in a Neo-Gothic style and was used as a small classroom for religious education. The shrine in Mota was built in the early 20th century and was moved to the south of the main village crossroads when the roads were widened.[3]
