Analia Saban (born 1980) is a contemporary conceptual artist who was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, but is currently{{when|date=December 2023}} living in Los Angeles, California, United States. Her work takes traditional artistic media such as drawing, painting and sculpture and pushes their limits as a scientific experimentation with art making. Because of her pushing the limits with different forms of art, Saban has taken the line that separated the different art forms and merged them together.
