Katz (née Kopman) Khana (Chana) Gulfovna (21 June 1950, Rēzekne, Latvia) — musician.

Khana Katz was born into the family of a worker, Gulf Kalmanovich Kopman (1921, Varakļāni, Latvia), and an office employee, Yevgeniya Grigorievna Kopman (née Salz) (1920, Dzygovka village, Yampil district, Vinnytsia region, Ukraine).

She attended Secondary School No. 3 and the Children’s Music School in Rēzekne (1957–1965), graduated from the Rēzekne Music College (1965–1969), and at the same time worked as accompanist at the Children’s Sports School (1966–1967), and as répétiteur at the Rēzekne Music College (1968–1969). She was a music teacher at the Viļāni Children’s Music School (1969–1970), head of an ensemble at the Rēzekne Wagon Factory club (1970), and music teacher at the Riga Pedagogical College (1970–1983).

In marriage with Sema Lazarevich Katz (born 1945, Samarkand, Uzbek SSR), there were no children. The marriage was dissolved in 1976.

In 1983 Khana Katz received permission to emigrate to Israel, where her relatives already lived: since 1972 her uncle (her father’s brother) Moshe (Moisei) Kalmanovich Kopman (born 1910, Varakļāni), and since 1981 her brother, Alter Gulfovich Kopman (born 1948).
