Penedes is a natural and historical region of the autonomous community of Catalonia, Spain. It is located in the south of the Principality of Catalonia between the pre coastal mountain range, Serralada Pre litoral, and the Mediterranean sea. The comarcal division of the Generalitat de Catalunya in 1936 and 1987, divided Penedes into three administrative comarques: Alt Penedes, Baix Penedes and Garraf, and their capitals are Vilafranca del Penedes, el Vendrell and Vilanova i la Geltru.

From the historical point of view, Penedes was since the start of the ninth century a border region inside the county of Barcelona, which had its center in the former military town Olerdola, fortified again because of the Christian advance in the 929. Olerdola lost its defensive significance and the capital in the second half of the twelfth century and then Vilafranca became the capital. During the thirteenth century formed the Vegueria of Vilafranca including all Penedes and most of Anoia as the sots vegueria of Igualada.

The provincial division of the 1833 divide the region between the provinces of Barcelona, which includes Alt Penedes and Garraf, and the province of Tarragona, which includes Baix Penedes.
