Anne Bauchens (February 2, 1882 – May 7, 1967) was an American film editor who is remembered for her collaboration over 40 years with the producer-director Cecil B. DeMille.
In 1935, she became the first female nominee for the new Academy Award for Best Film Editing for her work in Cleopatra, which was also nominated for Outstanding Production. In 1941, she was nominated a second time and won for North West Mounted Police (1940), DeMille's first three-strip Technicolor film. She received two more nominations, for the Best Picture winner The Greatest Show on Earth (1952) and the Best Picture nominee The Ten Commandments (1956), her last film.
In 1956, she received the American Cinema Editors Achievement Award for "distinctive achievement in film editing and for outstanding contribution to the film industry over a period of years."
