Gonars (Friulian: Gonârs) is a town and comune (municipality) in the Regional decentralization entity of Udine in Friuli, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, northeastern Italy.

On 23 February 1942, the Fascist regime established a concentration camp in the town, mostly for prisoners from what is now Slovenia and Croatia.

Only in 1973 was a memorial created by the sculptor Miodrag Živković at the town's cemetery.

It is believed that at least 50 additional persons died in the camp due to starvation and torture.

Among the people interned in the camp were the engineer Aleš Strojnik, writer Vitomil Zupan, poets Alojz Gradnik and France Balantič, historians Bogo Grafenauer and Vasilij Melik, sculptor Jakob Savinšek, playwright and essayist Bojan Štih, journalist Ernest Petrin, and politicians Anton Vratuša, Boris Kraigher, and France Bučar.
