Kancah Amerika^[1] adalah kancah operasi semasa Perang Dunia II termasuk seluruh wilayah Benua Amerika, dan meluas 200 batu (320 km) ke lautan.

Oleh kerana pemisahan geografi Amerika Utara dan Selatan daripada pusat kancah konflik (di Eropah, Mediterranean dan Timur Tengah, dan Pasifik) ancaman pencerobohan negara A.S. atau kawasan lain di benua Amerika oleh Kuasa Paksi telah diabaikan dan kancah tersebut menyaksikan konflik yang agak kecil.

Namun, walaupun tidak pentingnya Kancah Amerika, beberapa pertempuran berlaku didalamnya, seperti Pertempuran Sungai Plate, serangan kapal selam di luar Pantai Timur, Kempen Kepulauan Aleutian, Pertempuran St. Lawrence, dan serangan terhadap Newfoundland. Kerja-kerja pengintipan termasuklah Operasi Bolívar.
