Laurino is a town and comune in the province of Salerno in the Campania region of southwestern Italy.

The river flows through the Cilento national park from its source up on Mount Cervati; it is known for the wildlife it attracts, such as European otters.

The municipality borders with Bellosguardo, Campora, Felitto, Magliano Vetere, Novi Velia, Piaggine, Rofrano, Roscigno, Sacco, Stio and Valle dell'Angelo.

Due to migration in recent decades toward the north in search for employment, the current population is just under 2000.

The place is known for its natural environment, and initiatives such as the Jazz in Laurino festival in August, which attracts musicians from throughout the country.
