Anahola (literally "deadly winds" in Hawaiian) is a census-designated place (CDP) in Kauaʻi County, Hawaiʻi, United States.

The ruler, Kaumualii, resisted Kamehameha for years, surviving two attempts to invade Kaua'i.

Anahola is the site of an ancient surfing area, Ka-nahā-wale, which literally translates to "easily broken".

The opening scene of this first installment in the Indiana Jones film franchise is supposed to take place in the Peruvian jungle where the main character, Indiana Jones, discovers an ancient booby-trapped temple.

Kalalea and the Anahola mountains also serve as a backdrop for a Polynesian resort - supposedly located on Makatea island - in the 1998 feature film Six Days, Seven Nights.
