Matena () is a village in the Municipality of Ig in central Slovenia, just south of the capital Ljubljana. The entire municipality is part of the traditional region of Inner Carniola and is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.
==Name== Matena was attested in written sources in 1421 or 1422 as Mathesdorff and Mattestorff. The Slovene name is probably a contraction of *Matejina (vas), derived from the Biblical name Matej 'Matthew', thus meaning 'Matthew's village'. The medieval transcriptions have the genitive form of the name in Middle High German as their first element.
