The Limiana or '''''' is a Spanish breed of domestic cattle. It is named for the comarca of A Limia, in the southern part of the Province of Ourense, in Galicia in north-west Spain. It is the largest of the cattle breeds of Galicia.
It is one of the five Galician breeds that together make up the Morena Gallega grouping of chestnut-coloured cattle, the others being the Cachena, the Caldelana, the Frieiresa and the Vianesa, which with the Alistana-Sanabresa and the Sayaguesa of Castile and León and the extinct Verinesa also form the broader Morenas del Noroeste grouping of similar cattle breeds.
