Poreber (pronounced [ˈpoːɾɛbəɾ] ) is a dispersed settlement in the Municipality of Kamnik in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

A dispersed settlement, also known as a scattered settlement, is one of the main types of settlement patterns used by landscape historians to classify rural settlements found in England and other parts of the world. Typically, there are a number of separate farmsteads scattered throughout the area. A dispersed settlement contrasts with a nucleated village.

The Municipality of Kamnik is a municipality in northern Slovenia. The seat of the municipality is the town of Kamnik. Today it is part of the Central Slovenia statistical region. It is the 15th-largest municipality by area in Slovenia.

Upper Carniola is a traditional region of Slovenia, the northern mountainous part of the larger Carniola region.

Three of the farms belong to the hamlet of Kavran along the road into the Tuhinj Valley. Several smaller creeks join near the village to form Porebrščica Creek.
