Terranova da Sibari is town and comune in the province of Cosenza in the Calabria region of southern Italy. It is located between the river Crati and the last stretches of the Sila Mountains. Refugees from the ancient city of Thurii founded Terranova after the destruction of their city in the war against Croton.

Once known as Terranova del Vallo and Terranova di Calabria Citra, it received the current name after the unification of Italy, referring to the ancient cities of Thurii and Sybaris.

The main attractions include the feudal castle and six ancient churches.
