Shana (Japanese: 紗那村, Shana-mura) is a village in Shana District on Iturup, located in the disputed Northern Territories area of the Kuril Islands.

It is currently administered by Russia as part of Kurilsky District in Sakhalin Oblast, although Japan continues to claim it as part of Hokkaido Prefecture.

After the Soviet invasion and occupation of the Kuril Islands in 1945, Shana became part of Kurilsky District as Kurilsk.
