Strenči (pronounced [ˈstrentʃi] ^ⓘ; German: Stackeln) is a town in Valmiera Municipality in the Vidzeme region of Latvia. It is located about 130 km (81 mi) northeast of Riga, about 20 km (12 mi) northeast of Valmiera and about 30 km (19 mi) southwest of Valka.

Strenči is known as the raftsmen capital of Latvia, due to the town's location on the Gauja river and historical role in timber rafting. However it is also widely known in Latvia for its psychiatric hospital, "Strenču psihoneiroloģiskā slimnīca, VSIA" which was built in 1907 on the initiative of the Livonian Knighthood.
