Velika Štanga (pronounced [ˈveːlika ˈʃtaːŋɡa]; in older sources also Sveti Anton,[2] German: St. Anton;[2] also German: Stangenwald,[3] Stangen[4]) is a settlement in the hills west of Šmartno pri Litiji in central Slovenia. The area is part of the historical region of Lower Carniola. The Municipality of Šmartno pri Litiji is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.[5]

The Štanga parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Ljubljana. It dates to the late 17th century with some major 19th-century remodelling and rebuilding.[6]
