Zalagasper (stylised in all lowercase, formerly Zala Kralj & Gašper Šantl) is a Slovenian musical project from Maribor consisting multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Gašper Šantl. As a duo with former lead vocalist Zala Kralj, Zalagasper represented Slovenia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 with the song "Sebi", finishing 15th (out of 26 entrants) in the final. The duo formed in 2018 after Kralj had begun performing vocals on some songs written and produced by Šantl. Initially, Kralj was only credited as a featured artist. They released the singles "Valovi", "Baloni", and "S teboi" in 2018, before releasing their debut extended play Štiri in February 2019.

In 2023, Kralj ended her music career and left the duo in order to pursue university studies at the University of Maribor, studying Slovene literature and the English language. Šantl continued the musical project as a solo artist. Kralj and Šantl have continued their private romantic relationship following the end of Kralj's music career.
