Domanjševci (pronounced [dɔˈmaːnʃɛu̯tsi]; in older sources also Domanjšovci,[2] Hungarian: Domonkosfa,[2] German: Sankt Domenikus) is a village in the Municipality of Šalovci in the Prekmurje region of Slovenia, right on the border with Hungary.[3]

There are two churches in the settlement. The Roman Catholic church is built on a small hill southwest of the settlement in the middle of a small cemetery and is dedicated to Saint Martin. It is a single-nave brick building with a Romanesque portal dating to the 13th century. It was originally dedicated to Saint Wenceslas. The Lutheran church in the settlement was built in 1902 in a Neo-Romanesque style. Its designer was the architect Alojz Kleiber.[4]

The poet, writer, and teacher István Szijjártó lived and died in the village.
