Trenta is a settlement in the Municipality of Bovec in the Goriška traditional region of the western Slovenia. It lies on the river Soča along the road from the Vršič Pass to Bovec and encompasses the Trenta Valley and its side valleys.

A miners' church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary of Loreto, lies above the settlement on the way to Vršič. It was erected in 1690 by the owners of the Trenta bloomeries, the Counts of Attems[2].

The Trenta Lodge information center of Triglav National Park and the Juliana Alpine Botanical Garden are located in Trenta.
