Kōan may refer to:
 * Kōan (Kamakura period) (貞元), Japanese era from 1278 to 1288
 * Kōan (Muromachi period) (承元), Japanese era from 1361 to 1362

This set of nengō used to be identified as
 * Koan (first) (貞元), Japanese era from 1278 to 1288
 * Koan (second) (承元), Japanese era from 1361 to 1362

It was suggested that the period designations would be clearer; and the same pattern seemed useful in the cases of other homonym pairs in the list of Japanese era names:
