Lekenik is a village and a municipality in central Croatia, located between Sisak and Velika Gorica in the lowland region of Turopolje.

Norman Jewison chose Lekenik to represent Anatevka for the 1971 film Fiddler on the Roof, after visiting other sites in Austria, Canada, and Romania. The film ends with the credit: "Our thanks to the people of the villages of Lekenik and Mala Gorica and the city of Zagreb, Yugoslavia."
