Yaohnanen, also spelled Ionhanen,[1] is a village located on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu,[1][2] at about 6 km south-east of the island main town, Lenakel.[3]

It is well known for the participation of its villagers in the Prince Philip Movement.[1][2]

Yaohnanen people were featured on the second season of the Spanish television series Perdidos en la Tribu (Lost in the Tribe), in which they lived with a Spanish family during the course of 21 days, teaching them their customs and culture, and also in the first season of the same Portuguese series called Perdidos na Tribo.
