  Striegistal is a municipality in the district of Mittelsachsen, in Saxony, Germany. In 1994, the unification of the former municipalities of Berbersdorf, Goßberg, Mobendorf and Pappendorf as part of the regional administrative reform, created the municipality of Striegistal. In 2008 it absorbed the former municipality Tiefenbach. It received its name from the two rivers that flow through the community, the Little Striegis and the Big Striegis.
