Ana is a solo album by the American guitarist Ralph Towner, recorded in 1996 and released on the ECM label.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine stated: "While Towner isn't entirely successful in melding classical, jazz and new age -- he frequently meanders -- several sections of Ana are as lovely and hypnotic as anything else in his catalog".
