Teana is a town and comune in the province of Potenza, in the southern Italian region of Basilicata.

The name Teana is a derivative of the Greek word "Theano", the wife of Pythagoras, the philosopher and mathematician. Local legend states the town was formed from members of Pythagorean school.

The village of 600 is home to a distinctive pasta shape — rasccatieddi di miscchieddu — that was the subject of an episode of the program Shape of Pasta.{{Cite web |url=https://therokuchannel.roku.com/details/6fba8941dedd5ea598fcbfa65fd4b3ac/shape-of-pasta/season-1 |title=Roku |access-date=2021-05-23 |archive-date=2021-05-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210523221859/https://therokuchannel.roku.com/details/6fba8941dedd5ea598fcbfa65fd4b3ac/shape-of-pasta/season-1 |url-status=dead }}
