Ha (Ancient Egyptian: ḥꜣ), in ancient Egyptian religion, was a god of the Western Desert and the fertile oasis of Western Desert of Egypt. He was associated with the Duat (the underworld) and pictured as a man wearing the hieroglyph symbol for desert hills on his head.

Ha was said to protect Egypt from enemies such as invading ancient Libyans. He is associated with Set, since Set represented the west of the Nile and they both have similar attributes - the desert.
