Hanna Hümmer (1910–1977) war eine deutsche Musikerin, geistliche Autorin und Mitbegründerin der evangelischen Communität Christusbruderschaft in Selbitz. Als langjährige geistliche Leiterin der Bruderschaft prägte sie die Erneuerung verbindlichen klösterlichen Lebens im Protestantismus durch Gebet, Stille und Bibelmeditation. Bibellesern begegnet sie heute vor allem durch ihre kontemplativen Texte, Lieder und Andachten, die zu einer meditativen Schriftbetrachtung anleiten.
