Podvolovljek () is a settlement in the Municipality of Luče in Slovenia. The area belongs to the traditional region of Styria and is now included in the Savinja Statistical Region.

==Name== The name Podvolovljek is a fused prepositional phrase that has lost case inflection, from pod 'below' + Volovljek. Volovljek is a mountain pass at south of the settlement as well as the name of a creek that flows south from a spring east of the pass. The name Volovljek is derived from the common noun vol 'ox'. The pass was recorded as Ochsenperg (literally, 'ox mountain') in 1278.
