Podreča (; in older sources also Podreče, ) is a village on the right bank of the Sava River in the Municipality of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.
==Name== Podreča was attested in written sources in 1334 as Patriarchsdorf, and in 1437 as de Patriarchali villa. The name is derived from *Podreča (vas) (literally, 'patriarch's village'); the first element is a possessive adjective from the noun podreka 'patriarch'. In the Middle Ages the village was a property of the Patriarchate of Aquileia, and so the name refers to historical ownership. A small rise near the settlement known as Abbot's Hill () is also reminiscent of this ecclesiastical heritage.
