Gunclje (; ) is a settlement in central Slovenia, immediately northwest of the capital Ljubljana. It belongs to the Šentvid District of the City Municipality of Ljubljana. It is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.
==Name== Gunclje was first attested in written sources in 1430 as Güntzleinsdorff, and later as zu Güntzlach in 1438 and Künczlach in 1455 (both based on the Slovene locative plural) and Güntzla (in 1449), among other spellings. The name Gunclje is derived from the Slavic personal name *Guncelj (derived in turn from Old High German Gunzelîn, a diminutive of Gunzo), and likely refers to an early inhabitant of the place.
