Mavčiče (; ) is a village on the right bank of the Sava River in the Municipality of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It lies southwest of Lake Trboje, a reservoir of the Mavčiče Hydroelectric Plant, which is located in the village.

==Name== Mavčiče was attested in written sources in 1439 as Maltschitz and Maltzitz (and as Maltschitsch in 1455 and Malczicz in 1464). The name may be derived from *Malъčiťi, a plural patronymic from the personal name *Malъkъ, thus referring to an early inhabitant. An alternate theory is based on the transcription Vuizilinesteti from 973; if this is derived from Old High German luizili 'small' + stat 'town', and if it refers to Mavčiče, then the name could be derived from the plural demonym *Mal(ovьsь)čiťane (literally, 'residents of a small village'). However, this hypothesis is phonologically and morphologically problematic. In the past the German name was Mautschitsch.
