Kidričevo () is a town near Ptuj in northeastern Slovenia. It is the seat of the Municipality of Kidričevo. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. The municipality is now included in the Drava Statistical Region. The town is industrialized and best known for the Talum aluminum-smelting factory. The town developed due to the industry in the area and is an example of urban planning in the late 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s.
==Name== The historical settlement that the town was built around was called Strnišče. In 1947, a workers' housing development at the site was renamed Kidričevo after Boris Kidrič, a leading Slovenian communist and one of the chief organizers of the Partisan movement in Slovenia from 1941 to 1945. The entire village of Strnišče was renamed Kidričevo in 1953. In 1974, territory was separated from the settlements of Kidričevo and Župečja Vas to create the current settlement of Strnišče.
