Nanalan' is a Canadian children's television series created by Jamie Shannon and Jason Hopley.

The title is a contraction of the phrase "Nana Land," referring to the setting.
Hopley and Shannon produced the series through their puppetry troupe The Grogs in association with Lenz Entertainment. The show uses a blend of hand puppetry and the manipulation of cardboard cutouts, particularly in the opening theme. While the shorts do not follow a structure, the half-hour episodes follow a loose format that includes at least one song or reading an original story to the viewers.
