The American Landrace is an American breed of domestic pig. It is white in color, with a long body, fine hair, a long snout and heavy, drooping ears. Like all landrace pigs, it derives from the Danish Landrace. The breed association, the American Landrace Association, is one of four that constitute the National Swine Registry, together with the associations for the American Yorkshire, the Duroc and the Hampshire. It is the fourth-most numerous pig of the United States after those three breeds.
