Rakovnik ({{IPA|sl|ˈɾaːkɔu̯nik|pron}}) is a small settlement in the Municipality of Šentjernej in southeastern Slovenia. It lies in the foothills of the Gorjanci range. The entire municipality is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola. It is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[http://www.sentjernej.si Šentjernej municipal site]

There is a small church in the forest south of the settlement. It is dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes with a statue of Mary placed in a niche carved into the rockface and a building erected in front of it.
