Anne van Keppel (24 June 1703 – 20 October 1789) was born Lady Anne Lennox, the daughter of the 1st Duke of Richmond and Anne Brudenell. Her father Charles was an illegitimate child of King Charles II, thus making her his granddaughter.

On 21 February 1722, she married the 2nd Earl of Albemarle at Caversham, Oxfordshire (now Berkshire), whereupon she became Countess of Albemarle. She was the mother to six children;

  • George Keppel, 3rd Earl of Albemarle (1724–1772)
  • Augustus Keppel, 1st Viscount Keppel (1725–1786)
  • Lt.-Gen. Hon. William Keppel (1727–1782)
  • Rt. Rev. Hon. Frederick Keppel (1728–1777)
  • Lady Caroline Keppel (1734–?), who married Robert Adair
  • Lady Elizabeth Keppel (1739–1768), who married Francis Russell, Marquess of Tavistock, and is a maternal ancestor of both wives of Prince Charles: Diana, Princess of Wales, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
  • From 1725 to 1737, she was a Lady of the Bedchamber to Queen Caroline. Anne died in 1789 at Admiralty House at age 86.
