Etah, city, western Uttar Pradesh state, northern India. It is situated about 25 miles (40 km) southwest of the Ganges (Ganga) River and 45 miles (72 km) northeast of Agra.

Etah is a marketplace for agricultural products. Several colleges affiliated with Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University (formerly Agra University) in Agra are located there. The city lies in a portion of the Ganges-Yamuna Doab alluvial plain to the south of the Ganges River. Irrigated by both the Upper and Lower Ganges canals, the region contains a fertile area between the river’s present channel and its ancient bed to the southwest. Wheat, cotton, and sugarcane are grown. Kasganj, north of Etah, is also an agricultural market and is a centre of cotton and sugar processing. Soron, farther north, is a Hindu pilgrimage centre. Pop. (2001) 107,110; (2011) 118,517.
