The Mali Graben (Slovene: Mali graben) is a creek and a natural branch of the Gradaščica River in southwest Ljubljana. It flows south of and parallel to the Gradaščica and is the largest affluent of the river Ljubljanica.[1] It is also known as Stržen (literally, 'thalweg')[2][3] and Mala voda ('Little Creek').[4]

The creek is a natural channel.[3][4] It splits from the Gradaščica not far from Bokalce Castle, then flows across the southern part of the residential district and joins the Ljubljanica from the left side near the . Most water from the Gradaščica is diverted into the Mali Graben, helping alleviate flooding of the Trnovo District of Ljubljana.
