Kristan Vrh is a settlement in the Šmarje pri Jelšah municipality in eastern Slovenia. It lies in the hills between Rogaška Slatina and Podčetrtek. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Styria. The municipality is now included in the Savinja Statistical Region.[2]

The local parish church, built on a slight hill in the centre of the village, is dedicated to Saint Peter and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Celje. It is first mentioned in written documents dating to 1545 and was greatly rebuilt in the 18th century.[3]
