Noa (Hebrew: נועה, Noa; or נעה, Nōʿā), is a feminine Hebrew name, derived from a root that means "movement". The name is used in the Hebrew Bible for one of the daughters of Zelophehad. Noa is commonly confused with Noah (Hebrew: נח), an unrelated masculine name known from the biblical story about Noah's ark.

Noa is also Arabic^{[citation needed]} with the meaning of "with love"^{[citation needed]}.

"Noa" is also a masculine Polynesian name (though not commonly used).
