Anne Gonzaga (Anne Marie; 1616 – 6 July 1684) was an Italian French noblewoman and salonist. The youngest daughter of Charles Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua and Montferrat, and Catherine de Lorraine (herself daughter of Charles, Duke of Mayenne), Anne was "Princess Palatine" as the wife of Edward of the Palatinate, a grandson of King James I of England and uncle to King George I of Great Britain. She bore Edward three children, all daughters. Had Anne not converted Edward to Catholicism, the English throne might have passed to their descendants.
