Bukovžlak (; ) is a settlement in the City Municipality of Celje in eastern Slovenia. It lies on the eastern outskirts of Celje, just north of Teharje. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Savinja Statistical Region.
==Name== Bukovžlak was first attested in written sources in 1763–87 as Bukova Slaka. The name is a compound formed from the Slovene adjective bukov 'beech' and German Schlag 'clearing, cleared area', referring to an area where a beech forest was cleared. The meaning of the name is also confirmed by Bukov Laz (literally, 'beech clearing'), the name of an older settlement at the approximate site of present-day Bukovžlak.
