Wasilla is a city in Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Alaska. It is located in south-central Alaska on the northern point of Cook Inlet in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley. It is the fourth largest city in the state and is named after Chief Wasilla, a local Dena'ina chief.

Alaska's North Slope oilfields and the neighbouring city of Anchorage transformed Wasilla in the 1970s from having an entrepreneurial economic base of small-scale agriculture and recreation, to becoming an accommodation and lifestyle support for businesses and their employees. The George Parks Highway turned the town into a commuter suburb of Anchorage.

Sarah Palin served as Wasilla's mayor before her election as Governor of Alaska. In 2008 she was chosen by John McCain as his vice-presidential running mate in the United States presidential election. Overnight Wasilla received international attention.

Education and entertainment can be found at The Museum of Alaska Transportation and Industry in Wasilla.
