Telgárt (, called Švermovo in 1948–1990) is a village and municipality in Brezno District, in the Banská Bystrica Region of central Slovakia.
==Etymology== The name is of German origin: Tiergarten (initially a hunting area). In 1948, the village was named after a Czech communist resistance fighter and participant in Slovak National Uprising, Jan Šverma. In 1990, the residents of the village returned to the original name claiming that it is still in use and Šverma never fought in Telgárt.
