Gullspång is a locality (pop. 1,200) on the border of the historic provinces of Värmland and Västergötland, Sweden and one of the two seats of Gullspång Municipality, Västra Götaland County.
Gullspång provided the name for the new municipality created through the local government reform of 1971, but the administration was placed in the more centrally located Hova, with just some minor offices in Gullspång.
Due to the long lasting rivalry between Gullspång and Hova the municipality avoids the term centralort (seat). Instead they are called the municipality's two main localities.
