:''For other islands see Gan''
'Gan' (Dhivehi: ގަން) is one of the inhabited islands of Haddhunmathi Atoll, administrative code 'Laamu'. Gan is the longest island of the Maldives.
This island has large ruins from the historical Maldivian Buddhist era. They were the best preserved ruins from the Buddhist past in the Maldives when H.C.P. Bell excavated some of the island's Buddhist sites in 1923, especially one of the stupas and a vihara. But recently much vandalism has taken place at those unprotected sites.
