Americana is a city and county (munic pio) located in Brazilian state of S o Paulo. As of 2000 it had around 180,000 inhabitants.

The original settlement evolved around the local railway station, founded in 1875, and the development of a cotton weaving factory in a nearby farm. After 1866, several Confederate refugees from the American Civil War were settled in the region. Among them, there was William H. Norris, a senator from Alabama. Nowadays, due to Italian immigration near the end of the XIX century, only some 10 percent of the population descend from the Confederate and there are only a dozen or so English-speaking families.

The city was known as Vila dos Americanos (Americans' Village) until 1904. It became a district in 1924 and a municipality in 1953.

Americana has several museums and touristic atractions, such as the Pedagogic Historical Museum about slavery and the cotton weaving, and the Contemporary Art Museum.
