Margravine Anna of Brandenburg (27 August 1487 – 3 May 1514) was a German noblewoman, the daughter of John Cicero, Elector of Brandenburg, and Margaret of Thuringia. By her marriage to Frederick I, Duke of Schleswig and Holstein, she became duchess consort of Schleswig and of Holstein. Anna died at the age of 26, leaving behind two children, one of whom would go on to become King of Denmark after his father, Anna's husband, who was elected to the throne in 1523.
