Hammana is a town in Lebanon, about 26 km East of Beirut.

It is in the Mount Lebanon Governorate in the district (or Caza) of Baabda. Nearby is the town of Mdeyrig.

The word "Hammana" may have come from the name of the Phoenician Sun God "Hammon" or "Hamman". These two names are derived from the word "Hama" which means heat of the sun.Hammana is located on the west of Mount Lebanon mountain chain, at an altitude of 1200m. This gives it 4 seasons, making it an attractive resort, including cool summers and snow in winter.
