Pitt Meadows is a City in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. Pitt Meadows is part of the Greater Vancouver Regional District. The population of Pitt Meadows was approximately 14,700 in 2001.

Pitt Meadows is a largely flood plain town, sandwiched between the Pitt River on the west and Maple Ridge on the east. To the north, Pitt Lake is the largest fresh water tidal lake in the world, connected by the Pitt River to the Fraser River, which is the southern boundary of Pitt Meadows. The Pitt River flows backwards at high tide and has created a delta where it joins the lake. The northern sector of the flood plain, closest to Pitt Lake, is largely a peat bog including a large wildlife refuge.

On the west side of the Pitt River (closer to Vancouver) is Port Coquitlam.

In addition to the commercial activity that already exists in Pitt Meadows, a new retail shopping centre has been built on the border with Maple Ridge. This new shopping center includes a Great Canadian Superstore, Jysk/Winners/Homesense, Michaels, SportChek, Blenz Coffee, a Telus retailer, as well as Bell, EB Games, a new Liquor Store, and a Cineplex Odeon.

Major agricultural products include cranberry and blueberry farms as well as a number of specialty green-houses growing things like cut-flowers and specialty peppers.
