Selo nad Polhovim Gradcem (pronounced [ˈsɛːlɔ nat ˈpou̯ːxoʋim ˈɡɾaːtsɛm]) is a dispersed settlement in the hills above Polhov Gradec in the Municipality of Dobrova–Polhov Gradec in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[2] It lies between the Petač Gorge (Slovene: Petačev graben) with Big Božna Creek to the south and the Hrastnica Valley to the north. It is on a formerly important freight route between Škofja Loka and Polhov Gradec.[3]

The name of the settlement was changed from Selo to Selo nad Polhovim Gradcem in 1955.[4] Selo nad Polhovem Gradcu literally means 'village above Polhov Gradec'. The name Selo is derived from the archaic Slovene common noun selo 'village, settlement'.[5]
