Hruševo () is a settlement northeast of Dobrova in the Municipality of Dobrova–Polhov Gradec in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It includes the hamlets of Log, Selo, and Na Govcu. Hruševnik Creek flows through the valley south of the main part of Hruševo, and then separates this and Log from Selo and Na Govcu before joining the Gradaščica River.
==Name== Hruševo was attested in historical sources as Chrovssay in 1303, and as Chruͦschi, Cruschewͦ, and Cruschawͦ in 1498, among other spellings. The name Hruševo is derived from the Slovene word hruška 'pear' and, like similar names (e.g., Hruševica, Hruševka, Hruševje), originally referred to the local vegetation. In the past it was known as Hruschowa in German.
