Castelnuovo del Garda is an Italian comune (municipality), in the Province of Verona, in Veneto, on a couple of morainic hills a few kilometers south-east of Lake Garda. Verona is about 20 km to the east, Venice is 140 km east and Milan 140 km west.

Castelnuovo del Garda has a short beach on the lake, between the municipalities of Peschiera del Garda and Lazise. The comune borders the municipalities of Bussolengo, Lazise, Peschiera del Garda, Sona, and Valeggio sul Mincio.

Gardaland, the biggest amusement park in Italy, is expanding mainly within the Castelnuovo municipality, close to Lake Garda shores.
