The Municipality of Divača (pronounced [diˈʋaːtʃa]; Slovene: Občina Divača) is a municipality in the Littoral region of Slovenia, near the Italian border. The seat of the municipality is the town of Divača. The municipality was established on 6 November 1994, when the former Municipality of Sežana was dissolved into four smaller municipalities (Divača, Hrpelje-Kozina, Komen, and Sežana). Škocjan Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located in the municipality.
