Sprendlingen is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Mainz-Bingen district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

Sprendlingen lies in Rhenish Hesse between Mainz and Bad Kreuznach on the Wiesbach. It is the seat of the Verbandsgemeinde of Sprendlingen-Gensingen.

These are Badenheim, Pfaffen-Schwabenheim, Zotzenheim, Mainz-Bingen and Gau-Bickelheim.

In 767, Sprendlingen had its first documentary mention in a record from the Lorsch Abbey. King Charles the Bald donated the village in 877 to the Monastery of Saint Gertrude at Nivelles in Brabant. In later times, the place ended up in the ownership of the County of Sponheim. In 1707, Sprendlingen became a Badish holding and formed an Amt of the Margraviate of Baden.

In the late 18th century, Sprendlingen was conquered by the French. At the Congress of Vienna, the whole region was awarded to Prussia, forming its Rhine Province.

The council consists of 20 Sprendlingen Council members in the local elections on 7 June 2009 and the honorary mayor as chairman .
