Križ (pronounced [ˈkɾiːʃ]; German: Kreuz) is a village in the Municipality of Komenda in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

Križ Castle (Slovene: grad Križ) or Križ Manor (Slovene: Kriška graščina) used to stand on a small hill above the settlement. It was built in the second half of the 16th century. The castle was burned down and demolished by the Partisans in November 1943. It contained many valuable works of art; some were burned by the Partisans and others were looted.

The local church is dedicated to Saint Paul.
