Anna Pavlovna of Russia ( _ru. Анна Павловна; 18 January 1795 - 1 March 1865) was Queen of the Netherlands.

She was born as the eighth child and sixth daughter of Paul I of Russia and Empress Maria Feodorovna (born Sophie Dorothea of Württemberg), and thus was "Her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess Anna Pavlovna of Russia". In the Netherlands, due to 19th century Dutch transliteration conventions, she is better known as Anna Paulowna.

She was a younger sister to Alexander I of Russia; Constantine Pavlovich, Viceroy of Poland; Alexandra Pavlovna, Archduchess of Austria; Elena Pavlovna, Hereditary Princess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin; Maria Pavlovna, Grand Duchess of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach; Catherine Pavlovna, Queen of Württemberg; and Olga Pavlovna, who died as a child. She was also an older sister to Nicholas I of Russia and Michael Pavlovich. At one time, Emperor Napoleon I of France had asked for her hand in marriage and been refused.

On 21 February 1816 at the Chapel of the Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg, she married Prince William of Orange, later King William II of the Netherlands. On 7 October 1840, on the abdication of her father-in-law, William I of the Netherlands, she became Queen Consort of the Netherlands. She was the mother of the later King William III.

The municipality Anna Paulowna in the Dutch province of Noord Holland is named for her, as is the genus of trees "Paulownia".
