Susanna (/suˈzænə/, Greek: Σουσαννα, Sousanna) is one of the women associated with the ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. Susanna is among the women listed in the Gospel of Luke at the beginning of the 8th chapter (8:1–3) as being one of the women who provided for Jesus out of their resources.

And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance. (Luke 8:3)

The name Susanna means "Lily".^[1]

Susanna is not included in the Old and Revised Roman Martyrology of the Catholic Church. Although mentioned as a disciple of Jesus, she is not venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church. She is often confused with Saint Susanna, a third century Christian martyr.
