Vižmarje (, ) is a formerly independent settlement in the northern part of the capital Ljubljana in central Slovenia. It is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region. It is located in the northwestern part of the city and belongs to the Šentvid District.
Vižmarje is known for the fact that on 17 May 1869, the largest all-Slovene mass rally was organised there on Whit Monday, and around 30,000 participants from the nearby and distant Slovene lands of Austria-Hungary demanded a United Slovenia, Slovene as the official language, Slovene schools, and a faculty. The Vižmarje rally was the only one organised by the Slovene political leadership of the Carniola region. It was also the only all-Slovene rally, as all the Slovene lands were represented: Carniola, Styria, the Slovene Littoral, and Carinthia.thumb|250px|The Vižmarje mass rally, 17 May 1869 thumb|Poster announcing the all-Slovene mass rally in Vižmarje on 17 May 1869
