Trenta (pronounced [ˈtɾeːnta]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Bovec in the traditional Gorizia region in western Slovenia. It lies on the Soča River along the road from the Vršič Pass to Bovec and encompasses the Trenta Valley and its side valleys.

A miners' church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary of Loreto, stands above the settlement on the way to the Vršič Pass. It was erected in 1690 by the owners of the Trenta bloomeries, the Counts of Attems.[2]

The Trenta Lodge information center of Triglav National Park and the Juliana Alpine Botanical Garden are located in Trenta.
