    480 Hansa is a minor planet orbiting the Sun.

    This object is the namesake of the Hansa family[2] of 162–839 asteroids that share similar spectral properties and orbital elements. Hence they may have arisen from the same collisional event. All members have a relatively high orbital inclination.[3]
