Britof (; ) is a settlement just northeast of the town of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.
==Name== The settlement was attested in written sources in 1387 as Vreytof (and as Freithoff in 1447). The Slovene common noun britof was borrowed from Middle High German vrîthof, both meaning 'cultivated fenced area'. The denotation of the common noun in both languages later developed from this original meaning to 'churchyard' and then to 'cemetery'. The settlement was known as Freithof in German in the past.
