Praiano (Italian pronunciation: [praˈjaːno]) is a town and comune of the province of Salerno in the Campania region of southwest Italy.

In 1997, the Amalfi Coast, including Praiano's "Vettica Maggiore" frazione was inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Site.

[4] The town's name derives from the praia, or beach, from the Latin word pelagium, meaning "open sea.

With the discovery of corals in the vicinity around the 1800s, Praiano's economy was revitalized, mainly focusing on the fishing and tourism industries ever since.

Another attraction is the Church of San Giovanni Battista, featuring a well-preserved maiolica tiled floor, dating back to the 12th-13th centuries.
