Širje () is a settlement in the Municipality of Laško in eastern Slovenia. It lies on the left bank of the Sava River, immediately northwest of Zidani Most. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Savinja Statistical Region.
==Name== The name of the settlement was changed from Marija-Širje (literally, 'Our Lady of Širje') to Širje in 1955. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms.
