Su Gologone is a karst spring located in the Supramonte range northeast of Oliena, in the province of Nuoro, Sardinia, Italy. With an average flow rate of 500 liters of water per second, Su Gologone is the most important spring in Sardinia.
The water comes out of a crack in the limestone rock, which goes underground to the depth currently explored by speleologists of 135 m (443 ft). From the source in Oliena, a short stream originates which feeds the Cedrino.
In 1995, the maximum lean flow rate of the spring was detected as 60 liters per second, while the full flow rate is estimated at around 8,000 liters.
