Premstätten is since January 2016 a new market town with 5,784 residents (as of 1 January 2016) in Graz-Umgebung District of Styria, Austria. However, it was previously founded in January 2015 as the town name "Unterpremstätten-Zettling".

The municipality was founded as part of the Styria municipal structural reform, on 31 December 2014, from the dissolved independent municipalities Unterpremstätten and Zettling.

One petition from the municipality Zettling against merging, at the Constitutional Court, was introduced but was unsuccessful.

After a corresponding municipal council, the municipality carries since 2016 the name "Premstätten".
