Loka pri Zidanem Mostu (pronounced [ˈloːka pɾi ˈziːdanɛm ˈmoːstu]) is a village on the left bank of the Sava River in the Municipality of Sevnica in central Slovenia. The area is part of the historical region of Styria. The municipality is now included in the Lower Sava Statistical Region.
The name of the settlement was changed from Loka to Loka pri Zidanem Mostu (literally, 'Loka near Zidani Most') in 1952. The toponym Loka is frequent in Slovenia and comes from the common noun loka 'flood-meadow', referring to the local geography.
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Helena and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Celje. It was originally a 13th-century church that was restyled in the Baroque in 1740.
