Anne Roberts is a journalism instructor and former Vancouver city councilor. She was elected as a member of Coalition of Progressive Electors in 2002.

Before city council, Roberts was a member of the Vancouver School Board from 1993-1996. Prior to politics, she was chair of the Journalism Department at Langara College, having previously been a producer with CBC Radio, reporter with Canadian Press and freelance reporter for the Chicago Tribune.

In council, Roberts was part of the left-wing "COPE Classic" bloc of councillors. She had long opposed Wal-Mart's attempt to establish a store in Vancouver and was successful in convincing a majority of city council to deny the retailer's application to build a new store. Roberts was not re-elected in 2005, receiving fewer votes than any of her COPE colleagues. She has returned to teach journalism at Langara College, including classes on advanced reporting and feature writing.
