Gowanda is a village in western New York in the United States. It lies partly in Erie County and partly in Cattaraugus County. The population was 2,709 at the 2010 census. The name is derived from a local Seneca language term meaning "almost surrounded by hills" or "a valley among the hills". The Erie County portion of Gowanda is part of the Buffalo–Niagara Falls Metropolitan Statistical Area, while the Cattaraugus County portion is part of the Olean Micropolitan Statistical Area.
The village is partly in the Town of Collins in Erie County and partly in the Town of Persia in Cattaraugus County. Bordering Gowanda is the Cattaraugus Reservation, which has a majority population of Seneca. Numerous European Americans live on the reservation in leased properties.
Gowanda Airport (D59) is a general aviation grass strip. It is part of the Gernatt Family of Companies' land, located northwest of the village.
Zoar Valley on Cattaraugus Creek east of Gowanda features over 2,000 acres (8.1 km2) of wilderness, hiking trails and waterfalls.
