Calonge is a municipality in the "comarca" of the Baix Empordà in Catalonia, Spain.

The town comprises two parts, a medieval hill village and modern seaside resort. The main urban centre and original village is about 4 km inland from the Bay of Sant Antoni. The towers and walls of Calonge castle date from the thirteenth century.

The modern resort of Sant Antoni de Calonge is on the coast between Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Palamós.

The two parts are connected by GI-660 which then leads north through Las Gavarres mountainsto La Bisbal d'Empordà. The C-31, the main north-south route through the Costa Brava splits the two parts.
