Sankt Margarethen im Burgenland is a market town with 2734 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2023) in Burgenland in the district of Eisenstadt-Umgebung in Austria. 
The Hungarian place name of the municipality is Szentmargitbánya. The municipality is located in northern Burgenland near the provincial capital Eisenstadt. Sankt Margarethen 
im Burgenland is the only village in the municipality. Before the birth of Christ, the area was part of the Celtic kingdom of Noricum and belonged to the surroundings of the 
Celtic hilltop settlement Burg on the Schwarzenbacher Burgberg. Later, under the Romans, today's Sankt Margarethen was part of the province of Pannonia. 
Sankt Margarethen in Burgenland has been a market town since 1647 and, like the whole of Burgenland, belonged to Hungary (German West Hungary) until 1920/21.
