The Valle Peligna, also known as Conca di Sulmona, is a plateau in central Abruzzo, southern Italy.
The valley takes its name from the Greek term peline, meaning "muddy": this refers to prehistorical times, when it was occupied by a lake which disappeared after a series of earthquakes, leaving the land full of marshes but fertile.
It is crossed by the rivers Aterno and Sagittario, and is bordered by the Fucino basin by east.
