Sölk is a municipality since 2015 in the Liezen District of Styria, Austria.

It was created as part of the Styria municipal structural reform, at the end of 2014, by merging the former independent towns Großsölk, Kleinsölk and Sankt Nikolai im Sölktal.

A complaint from the commune St. Nikolai im Sölktal, against merging, was introduced to the Constitutional Court, but was not successful.

The municipality of Sölk is area-wise the third-largest municipality in Styria (after Mariazell and Admont).
