Polizzi Generosa (Sicilian: Pulizzi) is a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Palermo on the island of Sicily, southern Italy.

The town sits in the hills at 917 metres (3,009 ft) above sea level.

The site of Polizzi shows signs of human occupation dating to the 6th century BC, with archaeological finds including coins from Himera, Carthaginian remains and a Hellenistic necropolis.

In the 4th century it was a Carthaginian fortress occupied by mercenaries from Campania.

The town probably developed as a population centre in the late Middle Ages, growing around the castle built by the Norman Count of Sicily Roger I in 1076.
