Gottolengo (Italian: [ɡottoˈleŋɡo, -ˈlɛŋ-]; Brescian: Otalènch) is a comune (municipality) with a population of 5,043 inhabitants, located in the Province of Brescia in Lombardy, Italy. It lies within the Bassa Bresciana, the southernmost part of the province, which encompasses the greatest number of comuni—sixty-one in total.
Gottolengo holds significant archaeological importance due to the numerous artifacts unearthed since the mid-1920s in the Castellaro area. Today, the comune serves as an industrial hub while retaining many traces of its rural heritage, to which the town remained closely tied until just a few decades ago. The small, now uninhabited frazione (borough) of Solaro is situated north of the main settlement.
