Domus de Janas, meaning House of the Fairies in the local dialect, is a name for a type of Sardinian chamber tomb. They consist of several chambers quarried out by the Ozieri and Beaker cultures and resemble houses in their layout.

More than 1000 of the rock-cut tombs are known on the island. They date to the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age. A necropolis of them at the site of Anghelu Ruju consists of 36 tombs some carved with bulls' heads.
