Küsnacht (German pronunciation: [ˈkʏsnaxt]) is a municipality in the district of Meilen in the canton of Zürich, Switzerland.

In the Middle Ages, the land was governed by the House of Regensberg who lived in the castle of Wulp in Küsnacht.

Like most other municipalities along Lake Zurich, Küsnacht started to become a suburb of the city of Zürich with the development of the railway link in 1896.

The psychiatrist Carl Jung had his clinic in Küsnacht, which attracted patients from all over the world.

Thomas Mann lived in Küsnacht between 1933 and 1939, after he was forced to leave Germany by the Nazis.

Recently, the town's most famous resident was Tina Turner, who lived there until her death in 2023.

Of the rest of the land, 32.8% is settled (buildings or roads) and the remainder (0.5%) is non-productive (rivers, glaciers or mountains).

[5] It is located on the north-east bank (also known as Goldküste) of Lake Zurich in the Pfannenstiel region.

The wettest month is August during which time Küsnacht receives 139 mm (5.5 in) of precipitation.

In the summer there are regular boats to Zürich as well as along the lake to Rapperswil, run by the Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft (ZSG).
