Sveti Primož na Pohorju (pronounced [ˈsʋeːti ˈpɾiːmɔʃ na ˈpoːxɔɾju]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Vuzenica in northern Slovenia. It lies south of the town of Vuzenica, a dispersed settlement in the western Pohorje Hills. Traditionally the area was part of Styria. It is now included in the Carinthia Statistical Region.[2]

The local parish church from which the settlement gets its name is dedicated to Saint Primus and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Maribor. It was built in 1789 near the site of an earlier Gothic building mentioned in written documents dating to 1436.[3]
