Monti is an unincorporated community located in the southeast corner of Buchanan County, Iowa, in the United States.

The railroad brought several years of prosperity to the town, but the settlement declined after World War II.

Over the years, the closure of the railroad depot, bank, stores, post office, creamery, schools, and church left Monti as the site of four houses, a closed church, a cemetery, and the Monti Community Center.

The village traces its roots to the late 19th century, when large numbers of Irish immigrants flocked to the state in search of new lives in the New World.
