Hanna Hertsyk (died around 1752), known in Europe as Anna d'Orlik, was the wife of Ukrainian Hetman Pylyp Orlyk, Hetman of Ukraine (r. 1708–1742). She is known for her support of her husband in the fight for an independent Ukraine during the Great Northern War, as well as taking responsibility for her husband's affairs during his diplomatic missions in Europe. She joined him in exile and lived in Sweden in 1709–21, during which time she corresponded with several rulers in Europe to support her husband's cause. She was the daughter of Pavlo Semenovych Hertsyk.
