{{For|other use|Calonge (disambiguation)}}
Calonge ({{IPA|ca|kəˈlɔɲʒə}}) is a municipality in the comarca of the Baix Empordà in Catalonia, Spain, on the coastline of the Costa Brava.
The town comprises two parts, a medieval hill village and modern seaside resort. The main urban centre and original village is about 4 km inland from the Bay of Sant Antoni. The towers and walls of Calonge castle date from the thirteenth century.
Sant Antoni de Calonge, a resort, lies on the coast between Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Palamós.
The two parts are connected by GI-660 which then leads north through Las Gavarres mountains
to La Bisbal d'Empordà. The C-31, the main north-south route through the Costa Brava splits the two parts.
Some of the bests campsites of the Costa Brava are located here, such as Cala Gogo, Treumal and International Calonge.
