Repnje (pronounced [ˈɾeːpnjɛ]; German: Repne) is a village in the Municipality of Vodice in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

In the centre of the village is Repnje Castle, built in the late 19th century and now housing a Franciscan convent with an adjacent church. The main church of the settlement is built on a hill above the village. It is dedicated to Saint Giles and a portion of its defense wall, built against Ottoman raids, still survives today.
