Golling an der Salzach is a market town in the Hallein district of Salzburg, Austria.
It is located on the southern rim of the Tennengau region south of the city of Salzburg. Here at the confluence of the Salzach and its Lammer tributary, the river leaves the Salzachöfen Gorge between the Berchtesgaden Alps and the Tennen Mountains ranges of the Northern Limestone Alps and flows northwards into the broad Salzburg basin. The Hoher Göll massif of the Berchtesgaden Alps in the west comprise the Schwarzbachfall Cave and the 76 m (249 ft) high Golling Waterfall, a natural monument.
Parallel to the Salzach River, the historic Salzachtal Straße enters the narrow gorge at Pass Lueg. Golling station is a stop on the Salzburg-Tyrol Railway, served by ÖBB trains and the Salzburg suburban S-Bahn network. The market town also has access to the Tauern Autobahn (A10) from Salzburg to Villach.
The municipal area comprises the cadastral communities of Golling, Torren, and Obergäu. Golling proper is colloquially just called Markt ("market").
The area on the road to the copper mines in the Pongau region in the south had been settled at least since the Bronze Age. Here a Roman road led from the city of Iuvavum (Salzburg) across the Eastern Alps to Aquileia in Italy.
