Libyana (Arabic: ليبيانا‎‎) is a Libyan mobile phone company established in 2004. It is one of two mobile phone operators owned by the Libyan Post Telecommunications & Information Technology Company (LPTIC).

Libyana entered the Libyan market with low-cost services to compete with the existing Almadar Mobile Provider, which was also later bought by GPTC (now LPTIC).

As part of the Libyan Civil War, part of the Libyana network has been disconnected to create a rebel owned cell network, called Free Libyana.
