Santa is a farming community in the Mamprugu-Moagduri District [1] in the North East Region of Ghana.

It was formerly located in the West Mamprusi District and the Northern Region, [2] until the Mamprugu-Moagduri District was split from the West Mamprusi District in 2012 [3] and the North East Region was created following a 2018 referendum. [4]

In 2010, the population of Santa was 487. It has access to two functional boreholes for potable water. In 2018, construction was started on a 3-unit classroom block to improve access to education. [1] People in Santa are predominantly farmers. [5]
