Slovenski Javornik (pronounced [slɔˈʋeːnski ˈjaːʋɔɾnik], German: Jauerburg) is a settlement in the Municipality of Jesenice in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

The settlement is located southeast of the core of Jesenice, on the north bank of the Sava. Its neighbor to the east is the village of Koroška Bela, with which Javornik splits the bulk of Jesenice's remaining steel industry, and with which it is joined in a sub-municipal unit. To the north, the small settlement of Javorniški Rovt lies directly above Javornik on the lower slopes of the Karawanks.

Places of note include the Acroni steel mill complex, the Podkočna Bridge over the Sava, a small hydroelectric plant on the Sava at Borovlje, and a train station on the Jesenice-Ljubljana line.
