Zellingen is a market community in the Main-Spessart district in the Regierungsbezirk of Lower Franconia (Unterfranken) in Bavaria, Germany and the seat of the Verwaltungsgemeinschaft (Administrative Community) of Zellingen.

Zellingen liegt in der Region Würzburg am Main.

The community has the following Gemarkungen (traditional rural cadastral areas): Duttenbrunn, Retzbach, Zellingen.

Between 1312 and 1313, Zellingen temporarily had Schweinfurt town rights, which, however, were never used.

Zellingen, as a former Amt of the Prince-Bishopric of Würzburg, passed at Secularization in 1803 to Bavaria, and under the Peace of Pressburg was transferred in 1805 to Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany to form the Grand Duchy of Würzburg, with which it passed in 1814 back to Bavaria. In 1975, the market community of Retzbach was amalgamated with Zellingen, as likewise was the community of Duttenbrunn in 1978.

Dr. Wieland Gsell, as mayoral candidate for the Greens, won in the runoff election on 16 March 2008 with 51.1% of the vote, beating the incumbent CSU candidate Karl Mühlbauer.

Municipal taxes in 1999 amounted to €2,706,000 (converted), of which net business taxes amounted to €395,000.

The community’s arms might be described thus: Per fess, in chief argent the letter Z moline gules, in base per pale, dexter dancetty of three of the second and first, sinister azure a bend of the first surmounted by three annulets of the field in bend.
