Anna-Maria van Reysschoot (17 February 1758 – 27 December 1850) was a Flemish painter.

Anna-Maria van Reysschoot was born on 17 February 1758 in Ghent, the daughter of Emanuel Pieter Frans van Reysschoot. She came from a family of artists: her father, her brothers Petrus Norbertus van Reysschoot, Jean-Baptiste van Reysschoot, and Johannes Emanuel Van Reysschoot, and her uncle Petrus Johannes van Reysschoot were all painters.[1][2]

She was trained by her brother Pieter and they and their father did decorative work for noble residences in Ghent.[3] Her work includes mythological subjects, landscapes, and grisaille painting. From around 1792 to around 1834, she regularly exhibited at Ghent salons.[2]

She married Egide Dignant and they had at least four children, including painter Nathalie Dignant. She spent the end of her life at the bejaartenhuis in Schreiboom. Anna-Maria van Reysschoot died on 27 December 1850 in Ghent.[2]
