Anne-Lise Berntsen (28 August 1943 – 3 November 2012) was a Norwegian soprano. The daughter of Harald Berntsen (1901–1974) and Arnhild Rossetnes (1916–1991),^[1] she was born in Drammen,^[2] and grew up in Eggedal.^[3] She studied at the Mozarteum, Salzburg, and undertook further music education in Aarhus, The Hague and London.

Outside of music, Berntsen appeared in the film Derailment (1993).
