The Xanna were a historical Native American tribe from East Texas and West Louisiana. They lived southeast of the Hasinai, a band of the Caddo Confederacy.

In 1691, the Spanish established a Spanish mission in their region.

Tribes that neighbored the Xanna in the late 17th century included the Canonidiba, Casiba, Dico, Vinta, Tobo, Caquixadoquix, Conanonizachitous, and Zanomi. They were all allies of the Tejas band of the Asinai Confederacy, part of the Caddo Confederacy.
