The Gornalunga is an 81-kilometre-long (50 mi) river located in central-eastern Sicily.

The river rises at Monte Rossomanno, in the Erean Mountains, in the province of Enna. After flowing through the plain of Catania, the river becomes a tributary of the Simeto river just a few kilometres before reaching the Mediterranean coast.

Along its course, the Gornalunga forms the artificial lake, Lago di Ogliastro, and touches three provinces, Enna, Catania and Syracuse.
