Monteforte Cilento is a town and comune of the province of Salerno in the Campania region of south-west Italy.

Monteforte was originally a Roman castrum, which expanded in the High Middle Ages after immigration due to the Saracen incursions.

Monteforte is a hill town located in northern Cilento, below Chianello mountain (1,319 m) and above the valley of Alento river.

It lies on the provincial highway between Trentinara and Capizzo, a frazione of Magliano Vetere.
