McCandless is a township with home rule status in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 29,709 at the 2020 census.^[1] Though McCandless no longer operates under the First Class Township Code, it is classified as a first-class township for certain purposes.

The inclusion of the word "Town" in its name sometimes causes confusion, since with one exception, a "town" is not a municipal unit in Pennsylvania. Bloomsburg, in Columbia County, was incorporated as a town in 1870, and is legally recognized as "the only incorporated town" in Pennsylvania.

McCandless is part of the North Allegheny School District and participates in the multi-municipality Northland Public Library.

It has been ranked highly among Money Magazine's "Best Places to Live."
