Anna Rostkowska (nee Zagorska; born July 26, 1980 in Lwowek Slaski) is a Polish middle distance runner, who specialized in the 800 metres. She won a gold medal for the 800 metres at the 2001 European Athletics U23 Championships in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and silver at the 2003 Summer Universiade in Jeju City, South Korea. She also set a personal best time of 1:58.72 by finishing fourth at the 2008 AF Golden League in Saint-Denis, Paris.

Rostkowska made her official debut for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed in the women's 800 metres. She ran in the first heat of the event, against six other athletes, including Russia's Svetlana Klyuka, who nearly missed out of the medal podium in the final. She came only in third place by five hundredths of a second (0.05) ahead of Great Britain's Jemma Simpson, with a time of 2:02.11. Rostkowska advanced into the next round of the competition, as she secured the final mandatory qualifying slot in the first heat. Rostkowska, however, fell short in her bid for the final, as she placed fifth in the second heat of the semifinal rounds, with a time of 1:58.84.
