Podplanina (; in older sources also Planina, , Gottschee German: Untrdaubə) is a small settlement in the Municipality of Loški Potok in southern Slovenia, next to the border with Croatia. The source of the Čabranka River lies just west of the village. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region. It stands on terraces above the Čabranka River on steep slopes below Trava Peak (). The settlement consists of a number of hamlets (Pri Kolarjih, Zdolenjci, Pri Kapelici, Hrib) and individual houses (Loka, Banija, Pri Kovačnici, Izvor/Obrh, Pri Drobniču). The core of the settlement is in the hamlet of Pri Kapelici.
==Name== The name Podplanina is derived from a prepositional phrase in which the noun has lost its case ending: pod 'below' + planina 'mountain pasture'. The name therefore means 'below the mountain pasture(s).' The semantics of the Gottschee German name Untrdaubə, derived from the name Unter der Alpe in the land registry of 1574, are identical. The standard German name, Alben, simply means 'mountain pastures', corresponding to the variant Slovene name Planina. The residents of Podplanina are referred to as Brežani by the people of the Kotar area.
