The '''Peace and Neutrality Alliance''' ('''PANA''', {{langx|ga|Comhaontas na Síochana is Neodrachta}}) is an [[Ireland|Irish]] lobby group founded in 1996 which campaigns to preserve [[Irish neutrality]].

It was involved in a number of campaigns such as those against aggression by [[Israel]], against the [[Iraq War]], against the use of [[Shannon Airport]] by the [[US military]], and against the [[Republic of Ireland]] participating in the [[NATO]]-linked [[Western European Union]] (WEU).<ref>[http://www.pana.ie/about.html About Us - Peace and Neutrality Alliance (PANA)]</ref> It campaigned against the [[European Union]]'s [[EU Battlegroup]] and European Union treaties which it believed would compromise Irish neutrality such as the [[Amsterdam Treaty]], the [[Nice Treaty]] and the [[Lisbon Treaty]].<ref>[http://indigo.ie/~imr/otr-eu-NatPlat.htm NO PROTOCOL IN NICE TO PROTECT NEUTRALITY AND FOREIGN POLICY INDEPENDENCE - Irish Media Review]</ref>

During the [[Russian invasion of Ukraine]], PANA representatives joined a protest, led by the [[Communist Party of Ireland]], against the [[Irish Defence Force]] providing weapons training to Ukrainian troops.<ref>{{cite news |title=Demonstrators protest against Ireland giving weapons training to Ukrainian troops |url=https://www.thejournal.ie/ireland-neutrality-ukraine-6148644-Aug2023/ |work=[[TheJournal.ie]] |date=22 August 2023}}</ref>
