Anúna, generally stylised in all caps, is an Irish vocal ensemble founded in 1987 by composer Michael McGlynn, for whom it has served as the principal vehicle for the creation, performance, and recording of his choral music.

Originally founded as An Uaithne, the ensemble adopted the name Anúna in 1991. It became associated internationally with Riverdance during the mid-1990s, but had already established an independent artistic identity centred on newly composed works by McGlynn alongside reimagined medieval, sacred, and traditional Irish material.
