Nova Cerkev is a settlement in the Vojnik municipality in eastern Slovenia. It lies on the left bank of the river Hudinja to the northwest of Vojnik off the main road towards Velenje. The area was traditionally part of the Lower Styria region. It is now included with the rest of the municipality into the Savinja statistical region.[2]

The local parish church is dedicated to Saint Leonard and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Celje. It is first mentioned in written documents dating to 1236. The original Romanesque building was extended in the 15th century. In around 1730 two Baroque chapels were added.[3]
