Skaniya və ya Skoneland (isv.Skåneland, Skånelandskapen; lat.Terra Scania, Terra Scaniae; dan.Skånelandene) — İsveçin cənubunda tarixi vilayət. Danimarkanın keçmiş üç vilayəti olan Skone, Halland və Blekingedən ibarətdir.[1] 1658-ci ilə qədər Şərq vilayətləri adı altında Danimarkanın tərkibində olmuşdur.[2] Daha sonra İsveçə verilən, lakin sonradan Danimarkaya qaytarılan Bornholm adası da bəzən Skaniya daxil edilir.[3]
Dil baxımından Skaniya İsveçin qalan hissəsindən kəskin şəkildə fərqlənir, çünki Skaniya dialektiİsveç dilindən daha çox Danimarka dilinə yaxındır.

Museum Tusculanum Press, ISBN87-88073-30-0. (On p. 101, Dr. Hoffmann, Professor at University of Kiel, argues that the contemporary descriptions of Scania as an autonomous polity had merit; Scania was often disagreeing in the choice of kings, which resulted in several, simultaneously elected kings in the early Danish state. Scania became officially integrated as a province in the late 12th century, with the Treaty of Lolland.
