Maiana is a district of Kiribati and an atoll in the North Gilbert Islands. The north and eastern sides of the atoll are a single island whilst the western edge consists of submerged reefs, all surrounding a lagoon. The atoll is 14 km long and 9.5 km wide.
In the late 19th century, Maiana was, for a while, compelled to pay tribute to the king of Abemama, Tembinok'.
