Pečarovci (in older sources also Sveti Sebeštjan,[2] Hungarian: Szentsebestyén,[2] Prekmurje Slovene (sometimes): Püčarovci,[citation needed] German: Sankt Sebastian[citation needed]) is a village in the Municipality of Puconci in the Prekmurje region of Slovenia.[3]

There are two churches in the settlement. The Roman Catholic parish church is dedicated to Saint Sebastian and was built in 1824. It has a single nave with a polygonal apse and a belfry on its eastern side. It belongs to the Diocese of Murska Sobota.[4] The second church is an Lutheran church built to the north of the main settlement in the hamlet of Gorenšček.
