Jang Ha-na (born 2 May 1992), also known as Ha Na Jang, is a South Korean professional golfer.

Jang plays on the LPGA of Korea Tour where she has eight wins and led the money list in 2013. Beginning in 2015, she also plays on the LPGA Tour where she won her first event in February 2016 at the Coates Golf Championship.[1] She currently has endorsement deals with BC Card, Honma Golf, Lee Dong Soo Sport and Kumho Tires.

The week prior to her LPGA Tour win, Jang became the first LPGA Tour golfer to hit a hole-in-one on a par-4. This occurred at the 8th hole during the third round of the Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic at the Ocean Club.[2]

In May 2017, Jang rescinded her LPGA Tour membership and returned to the LPGA of Korea Tour.[3]
