Tanya Hansen, born Tanja Karina Hansen on 11 September 1973 in Jessheim, Norway, is a pioneering Norwegian pornographic actress, media personality, and entrepreneur. After high school, she relocated to Oslo, initially working as a stripper in clubs and modeling for softcore magazines. She transitioned into hardcore adult films in the mid-1990s, becoming known as Norway's first major porn star.

Active primarily from 1996 to 2004, she earned acclaim including the 2003 Venus Award for Best Actress (Scandinavia) and a 2001 nomination for Best European Actress. Hansen diversified her career by editing adult magazines Cocktail and Lek, hosting the 1999 P3 radio program Opptur, and appearing in Telenor advertisements. In 2005, she launched the 'Paparazzi' clothing store and 'Fashion Diva' online shop, ventures that ultimately failed.

A 2005 Dagbladet report noted her brief detention. She also directed films and remains a notable figure in Scandinavian adult entertainment history.
