Montecalvo Irpino is a town and comune in the province of Avellino, Campania, southern Italy.

Located upon a hill oversighting Ufita Valley, the town is known for its bread (pane di Montecalvo), which is granted PAT quality mark, and Irpinia - Colline dell'Ufita DOP olive oil.

In the countryside there are the ruins of Corsano fortified village, devastated by 1656 plague and since abandoned, and Malvizza bullae, the widest mudpot field in Southern Italy.
