Hrastovec pod Bočem is a settlement in the Municipality of Poljčane in northeastern Slovenia. It lies in the foothills of Mount Boč above the right bank of the Dravinja River. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Styria. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Drava Statistical Region.[2]

A small chapel in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Barbara, patron saint of miners, and was built in 1813 near the Kleče Mine.[3]
