Anna of Hungary (c. 1260 – 1281) was a Princess of Hungary and Croatia, the daughter of Stephen V of Hungary and Elizabeth the Cuman.

On 8 November 1273, Anna married Andronikos II Palaiologos.

According to George Pachymeres, the couple had two children:

  • Michael IX Palaiologos.
  • Constantine Palaiologos, despotes.
  • Anna died before her husband became senior emperor in 1282. However every Palaiologos emperor to the Fall of Constantinople in 1453 descended from her through her son Michael.
