Cottanello is a (municipality) in the Province of Rieti in the Italian region of Latium, located about north of Rome and about west of Rieti.

An elaborate ancient Roman villa was discovered here in 1968 in the hamlet of Collesecco (evocative of an arid and stony place) in the valley below the historic centre of Cottanello. Subsequently a building was erected to protect the villa.
