Kaṇāda (ou Kanad, Sanskrit कणाद) était un sage Hindou qui a fondé l'école philosophique Vaisheshika. Il vivait probablement vers 600 av. J.-C., et on pense qu'il est né à Prabhas Kshetra (près de Dwaraka) dans le Gujarat en Inde. Kanada, comme le sage Kapila (fondateur mythique de la philosophie hindoue Samkhya) sont l'un et l'autre appelés par leurs disciples : Tirthankara, « qui fait passer le gué », titre identique aux grands maîtres omniscients du jaïnisme . On lui attribue la composition des Vaisheshika Sutra. Ce texte sanskrit décrit six catégories : substance, qualité, activité, généralité, particularité et inhérence ainsi qu'une théorie atomique.
