Beltinci (; Prekmurje Slovene: Böltinci, or Belatincz, ) is a town in the Prekmurje region of northeastern Slovenia. It is the seat of the Municipality of Beltinci. Črnec Creek, a tributary of the Ledava, flows through the settlement.
==Name== Beltinci was attested as Belethfalua in 1322, Belethafalua in 1381, and Balatincz in 1402. The name is originally a plural demonym derived from the Slavic personal name *Běletinъ—from the nickname *Bělъ(jъ) 'white', applied to people with fair skin or hair—thus meaning 'residents of Běletinъ's village'. The second e in the reconstructed name *Beletinci was lost in Slovene due to syncope.
