Al-Na'ani, also called Al-Ni'ana, was a Palestinian Arab village in the Ramle Subdistrict of Mandatory Palestine. It was depopulated during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War on May 14, 1948 by the Givati Brigade during Operation Barak. It was located 6 km south of Ramle.

A British anthropologist, writing in 1932, reported that there was a group of "Sidr" trees (see Ziziphus spina-christi and Sidrat al-Muntaha) south of the village believed to be protected by spirits.^[2]

In 1945, the village had a population of 2,060, with 590 Jewish inhabitants of kibbutz Na'an. The village had an elementary school for boys which was founded in 1923 and in 1947, it had an enrollment of 208 students.
