    Anna of Hesse (26 October 1529, Kassel - 10 July 1591, Meisenheim) was a princess of Hesse by birth and marriage Countess Palatine of Zweibrücken.

    Anna was a daughter of Landgrave Philip I of Hesse (1501-1567) from his marriage to Christine (1505-1549), a daughter of Duke George of Saxony.
