Grgar (; ) is a village in western Slovenia in the Municipality of Nova Gorica. It is located under Holy Mount (), above the Soča Valley and below the Banjšice Plateau.
==Name== Grgar was mentioned in written sources 1370 as Gaergaer and in 1389 as Grêgôr. For phonological and morphological reasons, the latter transcription appears to be a hypercorrection and not connected with Saint Gregory or the name Gregor 'Gregory'. Instead, the name may be derived from another Romance base, perhaps *gregārius 'shepherd'.
