Anna Morandi Manzolini (1714–1774) was an Italian anatomist and sculptor, renowned for her contributions to the study of human anatomy.

She partnered with her husband, and then surpassed him in skill and reputation after his death in the scientific knowledge of human anatomy as well as the accurate demonstration of anatomy in wax sculpture. Her wax models were invaluable for medical education at a time when dissection opportunities were limited.
