'''Terra Alta''' ({{IPA|ca|ˈtɛra ˈalta|label=Western Catalan:}}) is a sparsely populated inland [[Comarques of Catalonia|comarca (county)]] in [[Terres de l'Ebre]], [[Catalonia]] ([[Spain]]). Its capital is [[Gandesa]]. It is also known as '''Castellania''', a name dating back to its medieval status as a fiefdom held by the [[Knights Hospitaller|Order of Knights of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem]] under the [[Crown of Aragon]].
