Črna (pronounced [ˈtʃəɾna]; German: Tscherna^[2]) is a formerly independent settlement in the eastern part of Dole in central Slovenia. It is part of the traditional region of Inner Carniola^[2][3] and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Gorizia Statistical Region.^[4]

Črna lies in a set of clearings on a slope below Rupe Hill. The surrounding forest is a mix of spruce and beech. Black Gorge (Slovene: Črna grapa) lies below the settlement and Black Creek (Slovene: Črna) flows through the gorge.^[1]

In 1880 Črna had a population of 19 people living in three houses.^[5] By 1900, there were only 13 people,^[2] and by 1961 the population had declined to nine; this fell further to only five in 1965.^[1] At the time, the settlement consisted of only three farms, one of which had been abandoned.^[1] Črna was annexed by Dole in 1964, ending its existence as an independent settlement.^[1][6] There was formerly a mill along Black Creek below the settlement; the remnants of a weir and a footbridge remain at the site.^[1]
