Hoog Kana is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a part of the municipality of Buren, and lies about 7.94 km south of Veenendaal.[2]

It was first mentioned in 1994 as Hoog Kana. Hoog means high, and Kana is probably a reference to Kafr Kanna where Jesus performed his first miracle.[3] It is not a statistical entity,[4] and the postal authorities have placed it under Ingen.[5] The street name is Hoogkana as one word. The hamlet consists of about 70 houses.[6]
