Osanna was a Northumbrian princess and a Christian nun who lived around the year 800. As the sister of King Osred I, she was likely the daughter of King Aldfrith. Although she was never formally canonized, she gained a local following as a saint. Her reputation was later highlighted by the chronicler Giraldus Cambrensis, who associated her with a moral lesson regarding clerical conduct in Yorkshire.
