Gana{{hamza}} (Gana, Ganaq) is an Austronesian language of Sabah, Malaysia.

Since Gana{{hamza}} and Kujau, a Dusunic language, are both spoken in and around Keningau town, Gana has a significant proportion of Dusunic loanwords, although it is originally a Murutic language.{{Cite thesis |last=Lobel |first=Jason William |title=Philippine and North Bornean languages: Issues in Description, Subgrouping, and Reconstruction |date=2013 |degree=Ph.D. |publisher=University of Hawai'i at Manoa |url=http://www.ling.hawaii.edu/graduate/Dissertations/JasonLobelFinal.pdf |page=395}}
