Sveta Gora (pronounced [ˈsʋeːta ˈɡɔːɾa]; Italian: Monte Santo di Gorizia) is a settlement in western Slovenia in the Municipality of Nova Gorica. It encompasses Holy Mount (Slovene: Sveta gora), above the Soča Valley and southwest of the Banjšice Plateau.

In May 1917 Sveta Gora was the scene of heavy fighting between Austrian and Italian forces. Sveta Gora became an independent settlement in 2006, when its territory was administratively separated from the territory of Solkan and Grgar.
