R. Banna'a (also: Bannaja or Benaja ) was an ancient Jewish scholar from Palestine . He is counted among the fifth generation of Tannaites , who form the transition to the Amorae , and worked in the third century AD.

Halachic as well as Haggadic sayings have survived from him .

He tried to explain internal contradictions of individual Pentateuch sections by saying that the Torah was revealed in roles that were independent of one another (Bab. Gittin 60 a).
