Homhoangna (alternatively Homoa or Homhoa) was a Tongva village located at what is now the area in-between the Santa Ana River, Colton Avenue, and the Southern Pacific Railroad. The village is associated with the area of Colton, California.

The village's name is reflected in the alternative place name designation for Reche Canyon, which is also known as Homhoa Canyon, Homoa Canyon, and Homuba Canyon. The Tongva language word for "hilly place" was reportedly homhoabit.

The village was located at the base of the foothills which surrounded it.
