Željne (; in older sources also Sela, or Selle) is a village northeast of the town of Kočevje in southern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.
==Geography== Željne is a ribbon village on a gently undulating plain along the road from Klinja Vas to Kočevje Rog. Kobl Hill stands south of the village. The soil is loamy and fertile. Željne Caves (Željnske jame) are located south of the village, from which Zeljne Creek (Želijnske potok) flows east. In the past, the caves were used as shelter during Ottoman incursions.
