Etna is a Borough of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania across the Allegheny River from Pittsburgh.

In 2019 Etna was recognized as the first ever Ecodistrict. Etna is focused on social and environmental justice for its community, environment and neighbors through outreach and revitalization. Considered one part of the triboro EcoDistrict, Etna stands apart in its recognition of visual arts and attention to the importance of expression through art.

Etna was named after the volcano Mount Etna, an allusion to blast furnaces, steel mills, galvanized-pipe works, and other manufacturers located there. Historically it was a steel town with a blue collar community. The Isabella Furnace of Carnegie Steel was located in Etna, operating until 1953.

In 1900, 5,384 people lived in Etna. In 1940, 7,223 lived there. The population was 3,451 at the 2010 census.
