Pasching is a municipality in Upper Austria, Austria, located 298 meters above sea level, with a population of about 6100. It is situated a few miles southwest of Linz and borders Leonding, Hörsching, Wilhering and Traun.

Situated along the famous shopping mile the Kremstal Straße it is home of many retailers. One of the biggest shopping centers in Austria, the Plus City is located in Pasching. Due to the vicinity of Linz many smaller industries have settled down here too.

A major problem in Pasching is the heavy traffic along the Kremstal Straße especially around the shopping center. A by-pass has partially already been built from Traun to the Plus City. The rest of it is readily planned but a conflict on the financing of the construction between the affected municipalities of Pasching and Leonding and the Republic of Austria as the owner of the street delays the start of construction.

Pasching got major attention for its football (soccer) club FC Superfund that played in the Austrian major league, the Bundesliga 2002-2007.
