Rafolče ( or ; ) is a village in the Municipality of Lukovica in the eastern part of the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

==Name== Rafolče was attested in written sources in 1332 as Rauelsdorf (and as Raffolstorff in 1351, Rapholczdorff in 1362, and Raffelsdorf in 1458). Locally, the village is known as Rahovče. The name is originally a plural demonym derived from the Old High German name Rapholt and thus means 'residents of Rapholt's village'.
