Ontinyent (officially in Valenciana, and in castillian spanish “Onteniente”) is a municipality in the comarca of Vall d'Albaida in the Valencian Community, Spain. Counting 37.606 inhabitants (ENI 2011).

Situated on the right bank of the Clariano or Ontinyent, a sub-tributary of the Júcar, and on the Xàtiva–Villena railway.

Ontinyent has a parish church remarkable for its lofty square tower, and a palace of the dukes of Almodòver. There is a large modern suburb outside the old town, which was formerly a walled city; some vestiges of the ramparts still remain. Linen and woollen cloth, paper, brandy, furniture and earthenware are manufactured; and there is some trade in cereals, wine, almonds and olive oil.
