Šmartno v Rožni Dolini (pronounced [ˈʃmaːɾtnɔ w ˈɾoːʒni dɔˈliːni]; Slovene: Šmartno v Rožni dolini) is a settlement in the City Municipality of Celje in eastern Slovenia. It lies on the northern outskirts of Celje. The area was traditionally part of the Styria region. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Savinja Statistical Region.[2]

The local parish church, from which the settlement gets its name, is dedicated to Saint Martin and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Celje. It was first mentioned in written documents dating to 1335.[3]

Nearby Lake Šmartno (Slovene: Šmartinsko jezero) gets its name from the settlement.
