The Kavana Cooperative (transliterated from Hebrew as "intention";[1] pronounced "Kah-va-NAH"[2]) is a non-denominational Jewish congregation located in Seattle, Washington, in the United States. Formed in 2006, the pluralistic community is based on a cooperative model, where partners and participants take on the responsibility for actively creating a Jewish life for the group. It hosts educational, religious, and social programs for adults and families.

Rabbi Rachel Nussbaum is the organization's spiritual leader. The congregation's administration office is located in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle.[1]
