Borgo Val di Taro is a town and episcopal see of Emilia, Italy, in the Province of Parma, 75km from the city of Parma. Borgo Val di Taro is an important centre for the produce and cattle of Emilia, it is also commonly known as Borgotaro.

Here M. Lucullus defeated the democrats under Carbo in 82 BC. It was independent under Vespasian, but seems soon to have become a village dependent on Parma. Its present name comes from the martyrdom of S. Domninus under Maximian in AD 304.
Not far from the town is the small church of S. Antonio del Viennese, a 13th century structure in brick. The Palazzo Comunale, in the Gothic-Lombard style, is a work of the 14th century.
