Lady Anne Churchill (27 February 1683 – 15 April 1716) was the second daughter of John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough and Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough.
Amongst her descendants are Sir Winston Churchill (from her son Charles), and Diana, Princess of Wales (from her son John).
Marriage and Children
She married 2 January 1700, Charles Spencer, 3rd Earl of Sunderland and had five children:
*Robert Spencer, 4th Earl of Sunderland (24 October, 1701 - 27 November, 1729).
*Lady Anne Spencer (1702 - 19 February, 1769). Married William Bateman, 1st Viscount Bateman.

Her married name became Lady Spencer.
She held the office of Lady of the Bedchamber to Queen Anne from 1702 to 1712.
As a result of her marriage, Lady Anne Churchill was styled as Countess of Sunderland on September 28 1702, but is not to be confused with her mother-in-law Anne Digby, also named Anne Spencer, Countess of Sunderland.
