Mount Anne is a mountain located in the Southwest National Park in south-west region of Tasmania, Australia. The mountain lies within the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Tasmanian Wilderness. It dominates the area surrounding Lake Pedder.
Mount Anne was named by George Frankland after his wife, Georgina Anne in 1835. Henry Judd reached the Mount Anne Plateau from the Huon Valley in 1880. Walter Crookall and Geoff Chapman, members of the Hobart Walking Club found a way to the top on 25 December 1929. The long hike from Maydena or Huonville became a day-walk after the construction of the Scotts Peak Dam Road in 1970. A hut was constructed on the nearby Mt Eliza by the Hobart Walking Club in 1974 to assist access to the mountain. Mount Anne is a common bushwalking destination for experienced walkers, the Mount Anne circuit is a 4-day walk that can include summiting Mount Anne.
