Agnes Cathinka Wilhelmine Lunn (16 March 1850 – 12 December 1941) was a Danish painter and sculptor. Lunn was born as a daughter to Villars Knudsen L. and Frederikke Amalie Hagen at Rønnebæksholm. She drew horses as a child and was fascinated by the form and movements of animals, leading her to the art of sculpture. A spinster, she died at Sønder Jernløse in 1941.
