Gansingen is a municipality in the district of Laufenburg in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland.

==History== While some Roman era artifacts have been discovered, the village of Gansingen is first mentioned in 1240 as Gansungen. Gansingen is located on the old road between the Rhine valley and the Aare valley over the Bürersteig. Between 1700 and 1723 a number of Savoyards emigrated to Gansingen. Until the creation of the Helvetic Republic in 1797 it belonged to the court of Bernau in the Austrian herrschaft of Laufenburg. Then, with the Act of Mediation and the creation of the Canton of Aargau in 1803, it became part of the new Canton. In 1805, the pastor Johann Nepomuk Brentano built a girls' school in the village. In 1814, a fire raged through the village, and in 1829 the hamlet of Galten was destroyed by fire.
