Jelenec (, formerly Ghymes) is a municipality and village in the Nitra District of the south-west of Slovakia, in the Nitra Region.
The village of Jelenec (also Gýmeš, Ghymes, Dymes and Gímes) lies below the southeastern spurs of the Tribeč mountain range at an altitude of 192 m above sea level. In terms of territorial and administrative division, it belongs to the Nitra Region and Nitra District. Its territory is built up of granitoid and sedimentary rocks (granites, quartzites, limestones, clays, sands). Some local minerals formed by hydrothermal mineralization are rare (e.g. ibaryte, lazulite, limonite and wad). Irregular seams of lignite coal, which are of variable quality, also occur in the Neogene sediments.
