Branoslavci (pronounced [ˈbɾaːnɔslau̯tsi], German: Malleggendorf[2]) is a village in the Municipality of Ljutomer in northeastern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria and is now included in the Mura Statistical Region.[3]

There is a small Neo-Gothic chapel in the centre of the village. It was built in the late 19th century.[4]

In the south of the settlement is a large mansion known as Branek Castle (Slovene: Grad Branek). The surviving building is a two-storey early 20th-century adaptation after a major fire in 1925 of what was a 16th-century castle, which had in turn developed on the site of a tower of an early Slavic defence enclosure.[5]
