nihongo|Kuwana|桑名市|Kuwana-shi is a city located in Mie Prefecture, Japan.

As of 2008, the city has an estimated population of 140,798 and a density of 1,030 persons per km². The total area is 136.61 km². The city was founded on April 1, 1937, and the city merged two towns in Kuwana District of Nagashima and Tado on December 6, 2004.

A large housing estate called Ōyamada (大山田) is west of Kuwana. Many people living there go to offices by either bus, train or car.

Kuwana-juku was the forty-second station on the Tōkaidō during the Edo period. Some travelers along the road would take ships across the inner Ise Bay from Miya-juku (located in present-day Nagoya near Atsuta Shrine) to Kuwana, which reputably made the journey more enjoyable.
