'''Fana''' is a community of the city of [[Bergen, Norway]] and a former municipality of [[Hordaland]] county.
The parish of ''Fane'' was established as a municipality January 1, 1838 (see [[formannskapsdistrikt]]). Fana, as well as [[Arna, Norway|Arna]], [[Laksevåg]] and [[Åsane]], was merged with [[Bergen]] [[January 1]], [[1972]].
Geographically the largest of the city's boroughs, it has a quickly growing population of 36,336 as of 2008. Most major industries in Fana are located near [[Nesttun]], the administrative centre of Fana until the municipality was incorporated into Bergen. The north-eastern part is dominated by residential areas, being home to the majority of the borough's population, while the rest of the borough contains mostly forest, mountains, some farmland, in addition to a few smaller settlements such as [[Fanahammeren]], Nordvåg and Krokvåg.
Many notable sports teams come from the Fana area, such as [[I.L. Gneist|Gneist]], [[I.L. Bjarg|Bjarg]] and [[Fana I.L.|Fana]] and the athletics club [[FIK BFG Fana]]. Fana is also known as the location of [[Troldhaugen]], home of the composer [[Edvard Grieg]]. Additionally, a replica of the Fantoft Stave Church has been located in Fana since 1997. The original was burned in 1992, 109 years after it was moved to Bergen in 1883.
