Ānanda— sanscrito आनन्द "beatitudine"; cinese Anando (阿難陀T, 阿难陀S, ĀnánduòP) spesso abbreviato Anan (阿難T, 阿难S); tibetano kun-dgà-bo (ཀུན་དགའ་བོ་) (India, ... – India, ...; fl. V secolo a.C.) è stato un monaco buddhista indiano. Fu cugino e uno dei principali discepoli del Buddha storico Siddhartha Gautama, ed è oggi venerato come Custode del Dharma. Nel Buddhismo Tiāntái (che segue lignaggio riportato nel Fu fazang yinyuan zhuan, 付法藏因緣傳), come nel Buddhismo Chán (che segue il lignaggio riportato nel Baolin zhuan, 寳林傳), Ānanda è considerato il secondo patriarca indiano, dopo Mahākāśyapa, e i due sono spesso ritratti accanto al Buddha Shakyamuni.
