Leskovec pri Krškem (pronounced [lɛˈskɔːʋəts pɾi ˈkəɾʃkɛm] or [lɛˈskoːʋəts pɾi ˈkəɾʃkɛm]; German: Haselbach) is a settlement on the right bank of the Sava River in the Municipality of Krško in eastern Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of Lower Carniola. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Lower Sava Statistical Region. It includes the hamlets of Grad (a.k.a. Turnska graščina), Beli Breg, Veliki Marof (in older sources also Gorenji Marof,German: Obermeierhof), and Žadovinka. Older sources also mention the appertaining hamlet of Bajer (German: Weiher).
The name of the settlement was changed from Leskovec to Leskovec pri Krškem in 1953. In the past the German name was Haselbach.
The local parish church is dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Novo Mesto. It was erected in the early Renaissance style on the site of an earlier building, most probably in the 1630s. A Roman tombstone is included in the walls of the church and a milliarium of Septimius Severus is next to the church.
