Ana Rivas Logan (born May 16, 1961) is a politician from the state of Florida. She served one term in the Florida House of Representatives, representing parts of Miami-Dade County as a Republican.

She earned her bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Florida International University and a master's degree in the same discipline from Nova Southeastern University.[6]
In February 2014, she announced she was leaving the Republican Party and becoming a Democrat, citing Republicans' growing hostility to immigrants and women's issues.[4] [7]
In 2016, she declared as a candidate for the Florida Senate in the 40th district, but later withdrew from the race to care for her parents.[8] [9] In May 2017, she announced she was running again for the 40th district, in a special election to replace resigned Senator Frank Artiles.[10] She lost the Democratic primary to Annette Taddeo, 71 to 29%.[11]
