Anna Rutgers van der Loeff (1910–1990) was a Dutch writer of children's novels.
Some of her works have been translated into other languages, including English.
Possibly her most popular novel was "Children on the Oregon Trail" ("De Kinderkaravaan") an account of a family of children traveling with a pioneer caravan to Oregon in the mid-19th century, loosely based on a real incident.
Another popular novel was "Avalanche", a story of a group of children from an orphanage caught up in heavy snowfall in Switzerland.
