Valenza (Piedmontese: Valensa or Valensá) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Alessandria in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 80 kilometres (50 mi) east of Turin and about 11 kilometres (7 mi) north of Alessandria, in the extreme Montferrat’s offshoots, in the Lombardy’s border.

It is sometimes called “Valenza Po”.

It is also one of the principal zones in the Alessandria’s province, due to its schools poles and the hospital.
