Dornach is a municipality in the district of Dorneck in the canton of Solothurn in Switzerland.
The site was the location of the decisive 1499 Battle of Dornach, which ended the Swabian War and effectively ensured the independence of the Old Swiss Confederacy from the Holy Roman Empire.
It is home to the international headquarters of the Anthroposophical movement founded by Rudolf Steiner.
