Deutschnofen (German pronunciation: [ˌdɔʏtʃn̩ˈoːfn̩]; Italian: Nova Ponente [ˈnɔːva poˈnɛnte]) is a comune (municipality) in the province of South Tyrol in northern Italy, located about 30 kilometres (19 mi) southeast of the city of Bolzano.

Deutschnofen borders the following municipalities: Aldein, Bolzano, Bronzolo, Karneid, Laives, Welschnofen, and municipalities of Predazzo, Tesero and Varena in Trentino. It includes the villages of Rauth (Novale) and Obereggen, a small tourist village located on the foot of the Latemar, with some 900 inhabitants. Another nearby mountain is the Schmieder (in the hamlet of Zapf). The very rural hamlet of Sankt Florian (Italian: San Floriano) is between the hamlet of Zapf and the centre of Obereggen.

The A22 motorway is located 15 kilometres (9 mi) from the village. Deutschnofen shares 7 km of the frontier with Trentino. The Brantental valley connects it with Laives.

The municipality of Deutschnofen contains the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Petersberg (Italian: Monte San Pietro) and Sankt Nikolaus/Eggen (Italian: San Nicolò d'Ega).
