Olaszfalu is a village in Veszprém county, Hungary in Zirc District with a population of 1,069. It is a popular place visited by hikers coming from the nearby hiking trails and Eperjes mountains.

The village can be reached from highway no. 82 and is located 20 km from Veszprém and 120 km from Budapest.

In 1182, King Béla III invited French cistercian monks to settle in Zirc. The monks brought craftsmen with them and settled peacefully on the land for some centuries.

During the Turkish occupation of Hungary (1541 - 1699), the village was destroyed, however others soon settled after this.

In the early 18th century, the majority of the village population were reformed protestant. The catholic monks at Zirc abbey offered the people of the village a choice: convert to Catholicism or they would no longer be welcome in the village and would be forced to move away.

Those who stayed merged with the German speaking population from nearby villages, and by the early 20th century 80% of families spoke German as their first language.

On Thursday 22 March 1945, Soviet troops advancing from Felsőpere arrived in the village late at night. The soldiers opened fire on homes while civilians hid in cellars and attics to avoid injury. On Good Friday (Friday 23 March 1945), soviet soldiers carried out unprovoked executions, targeting children and teenagers in the village and killing 32 young people.

In 2023, the International Shepherd's Festival was held in Olaszfalu, giving the opportunity for traditional shepherds to meet, discuss ecology and celebrate their way of life.
