Goropeke (; ) is a small settlement on a hill immediately south of Žiri in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

==Name== Goropeke was attested in written sources as Ragopetsch in 1291 and Gorapetzi in 1500. The original name has been reconstructed as *Rogopeke, an accusative plural of the common noun compound *rogopek (< rog 'mountain, elevation' + peči 'to bake, heat'), thus referring to a sun-exposed location on a hill—which corresponds to the location of the village on the south flank of Goropeke Hill ().
