Meliana ({{IPA|ca-valencia|meliˈana|ca}}) is a municipality in the comarca of Horta Nord in the Valencian Community, Spain. Meliana was home to a mosaic tile factory circa 1860, which gained some recognition for its experimentation on methods that encouraged workers to react productively in response to the high competition in the textile industry.{{Cite book|title=A social history of Spanish labour : new perspectives on class, politics and gender|date=2007|publisher=Berghahn Books|others=Piqueras, José A., 1963-, Sanz Rozalén, Vicent|isbn=978-0-85745-040-1|location=New York|oclc=647933119}} This task continued until the 1880s, until these practices began to be criticised as exploitative and unethical by a regional newspaper.
