Rakovec (pronounced [ˈɾaːkɔʋəts]) is a settlement on the right bank of the Sotla River in the Municipality of Brežice in eastern Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of Styria. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Lower Sava Statistical Region.[2]

During construction work in the regulation of the Sotla River, chance finds from the Late Bronze Age point to the existence of a so far unexcavated site in the area.[3]
