Anne Herbert (1952– ) is an American writer and a past assistant editor of "CoEvolution Quarterly", a precursor to the "Whole Earth Review". She is perhaps best known for being the person who coined the phrases, "Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty."

An article in the December 1991 issue of "Glamour" about the history of the "random kindness" phrase described Herbert as "tall, blonde, and forty" and as living in Marin County, California.
