Collegno (Italian pronunciation: [kolˈleɲɲo]; Piedmontese: Colegn [kʊˈlɛɲ] (listen)) is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Turin in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 9 kilometres (6 miles) west of Turin.
It occupies an alluvial plain at the end of the Val di Susa, between Rivoli and Turin, at the foot of Monte Musinè. The terminal course of the Dora Riparia flows in its territory.
