Bana (7th c. C.E.) was a poet and author who lived during the reign of northern Indian monarch Harsha (r. 606–647) and was a prominent member of his court.
- Based on his two greatest works, the Harshacharita, a panegyric chronicle of Harsha's exploits, and Kadambari, a romance left incomplete at his death, Bana is generally regarded as one of the great Sanskrit authors.
- He is particularly known for his Chandishataka, a compilation of one hundred poetry about the Goddess in various forms.
