Steinach am Brenner is a market town in the district of Innsbruck-Land, in the Austrian state of Tyrol. It lies south of Innsbruck in the Wipptal, the valley of the Sill River, which flows through the town.
The town takes its name from its position on the route to the Brenner Pass, the Alpine crossing that links Tyrol with South Tyrol and Italy. Situated in the Wipptal, it forms part of the corridor running south from Innsbruck toward the pass.
