Nogometni Klub Slavija Vevče (English: Slavija Vevče Football Club), commonly referred to as NK Slavija Vevče or simply Slavija, was a Slovenian football club, based in Vevče district in Ljubljana. The club was formed in 1921 and unexpectedly played in the Slovenian PrvaLiga in the 1994–95, after they replaced Svoboda just before the start of the competition. They were sponsored by local printing-house SET for most of the time, therefore their first team often played under the name SET Vevče rather than Slavija. This sponsorship also brought them a reputation of financially well stabilized club for a short-term period. The culmination came in 1996, when they have merged with Slovan and moved to Kodeljevo to play there as ND Slovan-Slavija for three seasons. They have won the Slovenian Second League in 1996–97, but were then relegated from first and second league in two seasons. After 1999 Slavija was eventually left out of the club, playing from then onwards known purely as Slovan.

Traditional club colours (untill 1996) were blue and white.
