Pullach im Isartal is a small municipality in the Munich district of Upper Bavaria in Bavaria, Germany.

The town has associations with regional institutions and firms, and features transport links connecting it to metropolitan Munich and the Isar corridor.
Pullach im Isartal sits on the right bank of the Isar and is bordered by the municipalities of Schäftlarn, Baierbrunn, and the boroughs of Munich such as Thalkirchen and Harlaching. The municipal territory includes the neighborhoods of Buchenhain and Grünwald-adjacent areas and lies within the Munich gravel plain and near the Bavarian Alpine Foreland. Topographically it features riparian floodplains, forested slopes contiguous with the Isarwinkel and parkland connected to the Nymphenburg Palace greenbelt in the regional ecological network. Hydrography is dominated by the Isar and historic millstreams that powered local industry during the Industrial Revolution in Bavaria.
The area was settled in prehistoric and medieval periods with archaeological traces comparable to finds in Bavaria and the Alps region, and its development followed patterns seen in Munich hinterland localities during the Holy Roman Empire. In the early modern period Pullach was affected by conflicts including troop movements during the Thirty Years' War and administrative reforms under the Electorate of Bavaria. In the 19th century the arrival of rail and road links paralleled expansion in nearby Munich and integration into Bavarian transport networks overseen by authorities like the Royal Bavarian State Railways. During the 20th century Pullach hosted offices of federal institutions including agencies associated with the post-war Federal Republic of Germany; its landscape and buildings reflect periods from Wilhelminian villas to post-war reconstruction under policies of the Allied occupation of Germany and later the Bundesrepublik Deutschland.
