Van Anda, formerly spelled Vananda, is an unincorporated settlement on Texada Island in the northern Gulf of Georgia in British Columbia, Canada.

Named after the Van Anda Copper & Gold Mining Company which owned 840 acres (3.4 km2) on the northeast side of the island, including the "Copper Queen" claim.

President Edward Blewett, a prominent American capitalist and miner, named both his son and this mining company after his wife, Carrie Van Anda (maiden name).
