Katarija () is a settlement in the hills south of Moravče in central Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola. It is now included with the rest of the Municipality of Moravče in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region. In addition to the main settlement, it includes the hamlets of Vrh Svetega Miklavža and Grmače.
==History== During the Second World War, there was a Partisan checkpoint at the Lazar house in the village; other Partisan activities included a bunker established in August 1942 for treating the wounded. On 13 August 1944 German forces burned the main settlement and the hamlet of Grmače, as well as two houses in Vrh Svetega Miklavža. A Partisan monument was unveiled in Grmače in 1953.
