Medvedjek is a settlement to the east of Veliki Gaber in the Trebnje municipality in eastern Slovenia. The area is part of the historical region of Lower Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Southeast Slovenia statistical region.[2]

The A2 motorway crosses the settlement territory. When it was being built in the early 1980s an Iron Age and Roman period burial ground was uncovered and partially excavated.[3]

On 28 June 1991 during the Slovenian Independence War a Yugoslav People's Army tank column came under attack at a truck barricade at Medvedjek. Six truck drivers were killed in an air raid that followed. In 1993 a monument to commemorate the events was unveiled on the site.[4]
