Remšnik (pronounced [ˈɾeːmʃnik]) is a dispersed settlement in the hills northeast of Radlje ob Dravi in Slovenia.[2]

The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint George and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Maribor. It was built on the foundations of a late Gothic church dating to 1532 after a fire in 1863 completely destroyed the original building. It is a singe-nave church with a belfry on its western facade.[3]
