Maria Anna Veronese (French: Marie Anne Véronèse; died 1782), was an Italian-French actress, active at the Comédie-Italienne in Paris.
Veronese was the daughter of the Italian Pantalone-actor Carlo Veronese and the sister of the actress Giacoma Antonia Veronese (d. 1768). She debuted with her sister at the Comédie-Italienne in Paris in 1744. The Veronese sisters are considered two of the most notable interpreters of the soubrette-parts of the commedia dell'arte. They were known as Corallina (Coraline in French) and Camilla respectively, after their standard parts. Anna Veronese was particularly known for her quick costume changes.
She had a relationship with Louis François Joseph, Prince of Conti; the couple had two children together, born in 1761 and 1767.
