Greenville is a borough with home rule status in northwestern Mercer County, Pennsylvania, United States. Located along the Shenango River, it lies roughly 80 miles from both Pittsburgh and Cleveland. It is 1.89 square miles in area, and had a population of 5,541 as of the 2020 census.[4]

Incorporated as the Borough of West Greenville in 1836,[5] it changed its name to the Borough of Greenville in 1865[6] and began to operate under a home rule charter on January 1, 2020, under the name of the "Town of Greenville."[7] The origin of the name is speculated to have come from East Greenville, Pennsylvania.[8][9] Greenville is part of the Hermitage micropolitan area.

It was home to the Werner Company, the world's largest manufacturer of step and extension ladders. Bail USA, a national bail bond company, and Anderson Coach & Travel, a prominent regional bus company, are based in Greenville.
