Vrhnika (; ; ) is a town in Slovenia. It is the seat of the Municipality of Vrhnika. It is located on the Ljubljanica River, 21 km from Ljubljana along the A1 motorway.
==Geography== thumbnail|left|Big Drnovica Collapse Sinkhole Vrhnika lies at the southwest end of the Ljubljana Marsh near the sources of the Ljubljanica River, where the Ljubljana Basin opens up between the foot of Ljubljana Peak (, ) and Ulovka Hill (). Močilnik Springs is located south of the settlement; together with nearby Retovje Springs, water flows mainly from the subterranean streams of the Unica to produce the Little Ljubljanica River () and Big Ljubljanica River (), which in turn join to create the Ljubljanica River. The territory of the town extends south onto the Logatec Plateau (), where the Big and Little Drnovica Collapse Sinkholes () are found.
