Hann Land District is a land district (cadastral division) of Western Australia, located within the Eastern Land Division of the state. It spans roughly 24°00'S - 25°40'S in latitude and 120°00'E - 121°40'E in longitude, east of the rabbit-proof fence. Part of the Canning Stock Route passes through the south-east of the district.
