Freilassing (German pronunciation: [fʁaɪˈlasɪŋ] ⓘ), until 1923 Salzburghofen is a town of some 16,000 inhabitants in the southeastern corner of Bavaria, Germany.

First mentioned 885 in a Carolingian document, the peasant village named Salzburghofen was given to the archbishop of Salzburg by king Louis IV in 908.

On April 25, 1945, only a few days before the end of World War II, British and American bombers destroyed Freilassing almost completely.

Freilassing is located in the valley of the rivers Salzach and Saalach which merge close to the northern part of the town.

To the south and the east the Alps arise to altitudes of more than 2,000 m. To the north and west rolling hills dominate the landscape.
