St. Margrethen (Saint Margrethen/Sankt Margrethen) is a municipality in the Wahlkreis (constituency) of Rheintal in the canton of St. Gallen in Switzerland.
It has 5300 inhabitants.
It is close to Austria and Germany and acts as a border town with Austria.
Currently only a normal road links St. Margrethen with Austria. As a result the town is at times clogged up with traffic before the customs posts. A motorway link has long been projected, to link the pathways to Zurich and Munich.
It is also where the A1 motorway becomes the A13 motorway.
