Fannia (fl. around 100 AD) was a woman of ancient Rome, notable as the granddaughter of Arria Major and daughter of Arria the Younger.

==Life== Fannia is recorded in the writings of Pliny the Younger as a woman of fortitude and respectability. As with her grandmother, Fannia is described as a political rebel in her own right. She was married to Helvidius Priscus and followed him twice into exile, once by Nero for sympathising with two outcasts (Brutus and Cassius), then by Vespasian for opposing his reign.
