Moverna Vas (pronounced [ˈmoːvɛɾna ˈvaːs]; Slovene: Moverna vas, German: Moverndorf[2]) is a small village in the Municipality of Semič in Slovenia. It lies on the left bank near the source of the Krupa River, a left tributary of the Lahinja River. The area is part of the historical region of Lower Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[3]

Artefacts from the mesolithic, neolithic, chalcolithic, and Bronze Age periods have been identified in a karst cave known as the Jew's House (Slovene: Judovska hiša).[4]
