Leonding (German pronunciation: [ˈleːɔ̯nd̥iŋ] ⓘ) is a town southwest of Linz in the Austrian state of Upper Austria.

It borders Puchenau and the river Danube in the north, Wilhering and Pasching in the west, Traun in the south and Linz in the east.

It is very close to Linz and offers views of the Alps and therefore attracts the upper social classes for living without providing much infrastructure on its own.

[citation needed] Leonding is split up into 22 localities: Aichberg, Alharting, Berg, Bergham, Buchberg, Doppl, Enzenwinkl, Felling, Friesenegg, Gaumberg, Haag, Hart, Holzheim, Imberg, Jetzing, Leonding, Reith, Rufling, St. Isidor, Staudach, Untergaumberg and Zaubertal.

This rapid growth was mainly due to affordable, decently sized homes that were much cheaper than those in neighboring Linz.
