right|thumb|Razkovniche is the Bulgarian language|Bulgarian-language name for the real plant [[Marsilea quadrifolia, which shares some features with the legendary raskovnik.]]

In Slavic folklore, the raskovnik or razkovniche (Serbian Cyrillic and ; ; ; ) is a magical herb. According to lore, the raskovnik has the magical property to unlock or uncover anything that is locked or closed. However, legends claim it is notoriously difficult to recognize the herb, and reputedly only certain chthonic animals are able to identify it.
