Fana is a borough of the city of Bergen, Norway and a former municipality. Fana is the largest of the boroughs of the city Bergen in area and it has also the largest growing population with around 35,000 inhabitants. Most major industries in Fana are located in Nesttun; therefore Nesttun was the administrative centre of Fana until the munucipality was incorporated into Bergen in 1972.
Many notable sports teams come from the Fana area, such as Gneist, Bjarg and Fana and the athletics club FIK BFG Fana. Fana is also known as the location of Troldhaugen, home of the composer Edvard Grieg.
