Anna of Bavaria (or of the Palatinate; Czech: Anna Falcká; 26 September 1329 – 2 February 1353) was a Queen consort of Bohemia. She was the daughter of Rudolf II, Duke of Bavaria and Count Palatine of the Rhine, and of Anna, daughter of Otto II, Duke of Carinthia.
She was a member of the House of Wittelsbach.
Anna married Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor on 11 March 1349 in the town of Bacharach on the Rhine. She was the second wife of Charles, since the death of his first wife, Blanche of Valois in 1348.
On 26 July 1349 in Aachen, Anna was crowned queen of Rome. Months later she was crowned Queen of Bohemia; she was seven months pregnant at the time.
In 1350, Anna gave birth to the long desired son, Wenceslaus, who died one year later, in 1351. Anna did not have more children and died in 1353 aged only twenty three.
Charles had now been widowed for a second time and still had no son. He then married Anna von Schweidnitz who gave birth to a son, Wenceslaus, King of the Romans. His daughter, Katharine of Bohemia married Rudolf IV, Duke of Austria in 1350 but had no children.
