Centralia är en kommun i Pennsylvania i USA. Staden är nästan öde, förutom de fem personer som vägrat överge sin hemstad. År 1981 hade Centralia en befolkning på över tusen invånare.
Stadens avfolkning började 1962 när en brand i kolgruvan under staden bröt ut. Försök att släcka branden har gjorts flera gånger, bland annat på 1960- och 1970-talet, men gruvan har fortsatt att brinna. Elden är så varm att vattnet som man försökte släcka elden med avdunstade. Kolbranden spred sig över hela staden underifrån och giftiga ångor började stiga upp ur marken på 1970-talet. Centralias huvudgata har kollapsat på flera ställen. Majoriteten av befolkningen bodde kvar till 1992, då staten köpte en stor del av husen och senare rev dem. Centralias postnummer togs ur drift 2002.

View of the outcrop area of the Buck Mountain coal seam in Centralia, Pennsylvania, where the underground coal mine fire has burned close to the surface. The municipal dump in which the fire started is on this same outcropping, but about a third of a mile east of this location behind the Odd Fellows Cemetery. It should be noted that areas which were not affected by the mine fire had 4-6 inches of snow on the ground.
