Fažana (tal. Fasana) je malo mjesto na zapadnoj obali Istre koje se nalazi u Fažanskom kanalu preko puta otočja Brijuni, te nadomak Pule, najvećeg grada istarskog poluotoka. Fažana je ukrcajna luka za odlazak na Brijunske otoke. Mjesto je poznato još iz vremena Rimskog carstva kada je nosilo naziv Vasianum po tadašnjoj tvornici amfora i raznih posuda. Bogata povijest mjesta vidljiva je po brojnim spomenicima i znamenitostima: župna crkva Sv. Kuzme i Damjana (XV. st.), crkvice Sv. Marije Karmelske (IX. st.), Sv. Ivana (XVI. st.) i Sv. Elizeja (VI. st.), rimska ladanjska vila s pogonom za preradu maslina i velikom keramičarskom peći za proizvodnju amfora i druge robe, ostaci drugih antiknih vila i ladanjskih kuća, itd. Stanovnici Fažane od davnina se bave poljodjelstvom (vinogradarstvo, maslinarstvo) i ribarstvom, te preradom ribe. U današnje vrijeme Fažana i obližnja mjesta Valbandon i Peroj popularna su turistička odredišta zbog prekrasnih prirodnih plaža, predivne prirode, šetališta uz more, gastronomske ponude u restoranima na obali, borovih šuma, raznovrsnog turističkog smještaja i aktivnosti (bazeni, malo nogometno, košarkaško i odbojkaško igralište, stolni tenis, iznajmljivanje bicikla, sandoline, pedaline, parasailing, jet ski, streličarstvo, surf centar, itd.).
