Ethan (standardsprachlich Äthan) ist eine chemische Verbindung, die den Alkanen zugehört (gesättigte Kohlenwasserstoffe). Es hat die Summenformel C2H6 und ist ein farb- und geruchloses Gas, das vor allem zu Heiz- und Verbrennungszwecken genutzt wird. Davon abgeleitet ist der Ethyl-Rest (–C2H5). Ethan ist neben Methan ein Hauptbestandteil des Erdgases.
