Etna is a borough in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, United States, located across the Allegheny River from Pittsburgh. The population was 3,437 at the 2020 census.[3] It is a suburb of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area.

Etna was named after the Sicilian volcano Mount Etna, an allusion to blast furnaces, steel mills, galvanized-pipe works, and other manufacturers located there.[4] Historically, it was a steel town with a blue-collar community. The Isabella Furnace of Carnegie Steel was located in Etna, operating until 1953.[5] In 2019, Etna was recognized as the first ever ecodistrict.
