Anna Brownell Jameson (19 May 1794–17 March 1860), known as Anna Jameson, was an Irish art historian, writer and feminist who promoted the art of Early Netherlandish painting to a wider audience.

Anna showed a talent for drawing and painting from an early age. She was also interested in literature and history, and she read widely in these subjects.

In 1821, Anna married Robert Jameson, a lawyer who was also interested in art. The couple moved to London, where Anna began to write articles about art for various magazines and journals. She also published several books on art, including "Memoirs of the Early Italian Painters" (1835) and "Sacred and Legendary Art" (1848).
