Anna Polovetskaya (died 1111), was a Princess of Kiev by marriage to Vsevolod I of Kiev.

She was the daughter of the Cuman khan. She married Vsevolod I in 1068. When she was widowed in 1093, she stayed in Kiev and was regarded with great respect and reverence. In 1097, she was asked to act as a mediator between her warring stepsons, and managed to secure peace and a resolution of the conflict.

Her daughter, Eupraxia, became Holy Roman Empress when she married Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor, in 1089.
