Tyana (Ancient Greek: Τύανα), earlier known as Tuwana (Luwian: 𔑢𔗬𔐤𔔂) during the Iron Age, and Tūwanuwa (Hittite: 𒌷𒌅𒌋𒉿𒉡𒉿) during the Bronze Age, was an ancient city in the Anatolian region of Cappadocia, in modern Kemerhisar, Niğde Province, Central Anatolia, Turkey.[1][2][3]

It was the capital of a Luwian-speaking Neo-Hittite kingdom in the 1st millennium BC.
