Kolovec (; ) is a settlement northeast of Domžale in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.
==History== thumb|left|Kolovec in 1820 The Kolovec area was settled in Roman times, as attested by the discovery of artifacts there. Until the 19th century, bandits were active in the area; the Paleževina farm was owned by a bandit chief named Groga circa 1810, and the Čeh farm northwest of the village center was portrayed in Josip Jurčič's novel Rokovnjači (The Bandits) as the Mozolovina farm. During the Second World War, the Partisans stored food and weapons in the forest near Kolovec.
