The Måna or Måne is a river in Tinn Municipality in Telemark county, Norway. The 32-kilometre (20 mi) river flows from the lake Møsvatn through the Vestfjorddalen valley and the town of Rjukan to the large lake Tinnsjå near the village of Miland. It is part of the Skiensvassdraget drainage basin.

The entire river has a total drop in elevation of 727 metres (2,385 ft) from Møsvatn to Tinnsjå, notably including the Rjukan Falls, a large waterfall that has also been a major tourist attraction.
