Anna Margrethe Schall (17 September 1775 – 24 November 1852) was a Danish ballerina. She was one of the most notable ballet dancers in Denmark at the turn of the 19th century.
Schall became a star of the Royal Danish Ballet under the leadership of Vincenzo Galeotti. She was not described as beautiful or technically skilful, but was rather admired for her swiftness and expressive mimique, the later of which made her perfect for the style of the Galeotti Ballet.
