# Athena Named Query

Athena Named Query in AWS is a saved SQL query that you can create and reuse within Amazon Athena. It allows you to store commonly used queries for quick access, making it easier to run analyses without rewriting SQL each time. Named Queries can be shared with others in your account, helping standardize query logic and improve collaboration.

```
aws.athena_named_query
