Sant Vincenç de Castellet is a municipality in the "comarca" of the Bages in
Catalonia, Spain. It is situated near the confluence of the Llobregat river and the Cardener river. The railway station serves both the FGC line R5 between Barcelona and
Manresa and the RENFE line between Barcelona and Zaragoza. The C-1411 road links the municipality with
Martorell and Manresa.

The ruins of both Castellet castle and of a Roman tomb (third century, known locally as "la Torre del Breny") are visible.
