Made in USA is a compilation album by Japanese pop band Pizzicato Five. The album was released in the United States on October 11, 1994 by Matador Records, serving as the band's first full-length, and second overall, American release under the label. Along with the preceding Five by Five EP, it introduced the group to a Western audience.

The compilation's title is a reference to the Japanese town of Usa, Ōita, and claims that products made in the town and exported to the United States in the 1960s carried the label "MADE IN USA, JAPAN" in order to have an appearance of being "Made in USA".
