Pesnica pri Mariboru (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈpéːsnitsa pɾi ˈmáːɾibɔɾu/; German: Pößnitzhofen) is a settlement in northeastern Slovenia. It is the administrative centre of the Municipality of Pesnica.
The settlement started to develop with the arrival of the railway in the 19th century, and particularly developed after World War II. After 1945, Pesnica became the centre of the western Slovene Hills. The elementary school and preschool in Pesnica were built by the Germans during the war. Since 1994, Pesnica has been the seat of the Styria Technological Park.
