Gorenje Mokro Polje (pronounced [ɡɔˈɾeːnjɛ ˈmɔːkɾɔ ˈpoːljɛ]) is a settlement west of Šentjernej in southeastern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola. It is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[2]

The local church, built inside a walled enclosure in the western part of the settlement, is dedicated to Saint Vitus (Slovene: sveti Vid) and belongs to the Parish of Šentjernej. It is mentioned in written documents dating to 1436, but owes its current Baroque style to a major rebuilding in the 18th century.[3]
