Soglio is a municipality in the district of Maloja in the Swiss canton of Graubünden close to the border with Italy.

Soglio lies on a ledge on the mountainside on the northern side of the Val Bregaglia ("Bergell" in German) above the river Maira ("Mera" in Italian), with views across the valley to the Bondasca glacier and the peaks of the Sciora group, Piz Cengalo and Piz Badile in the Bregaglia Range.

The town is 17 km from the Italian town of Chiavenna at the foot of the Val Bregaglia, and 39 km from Sankt Moritz in the Engadine valley which is reached via the Maloja Pass. These two towns provide the nearest railway stations. The highest point of the territory of the municipality is the summit of Piz Duan (3131 m).It is a commune of origin for the Salis family, one of the Grisons oligarch families. There are several Salis houses in the village; Casa Alta; Casa Battista; Casa di Mezzo; and Casa Antonio. The Casa Battista is now an hotel: "Hotel Palazzo Salis" (formerly "Pensione Willy"), the others are tenements.
