Anga is a populated area, a socken (not to be confused with parish), on the Swedish island of Gotland.[3] It comprises the same area as the administrative Anga District, established on 1 January 2016.[4]
Anga is mostly known for the intact graves in Trullhalsar grave field dating from the Vendel Period and the Viking Age.[5]
