Podkraj (pronounced [pɔtˈkɾai̯]) is a village in the Municipality of Ig in central Slovenia, on the edge of the marshland south of the capital Ljubljana. The municipality is part of the traditional region of Inner Carniola and is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.[2] It includes the hamlet of Šent Janž (German: Sankt Johann).[3][4]

During the Second World War, Italian forces burned one house in Podkraj in October 1942.[5] Podkraj was formally established as an independent settlement in 2007, when it was separated from the territory of Tomišelj.[1] Prior to this it was a hamlet of Tomišelj.[5]
