Anne Klein (August 3, 1923 - March 19, 1974) was an American fashion designer who founded her own women'ssportswear and apparel label.

Anne Klein was born as Hannah Golofski to a Jewish family in Brooklyn, New York on August 3, 1923. She studied art at Girls' Commercial High School in Brooklyn and later went to the Traphagen School of Design in New York from 1937 to 1938 to study fashion. She married her first husband, Ben Klein, in the early 1940s, and together they founded Junior Sophisticates – a clothing company which completely transformed the clothing styles, choices, and attitudes of young American women.  The Anne Klein label was established in 1968 as a partnership with famed fashion guru Gunther Oppenheim.

In 1971, Klein met Tomio Taki from Takihyo who approached her to enter a joint-venture to manufacture in the Far-East with materials bought in Europe for sale in the US and Japan. The joint-venture never materialized as the margins were too thin; however, Klein approached Taki to partner in the company and by 1973 Takihyo owned 25% of the Anne Klein Company. In 2001, fashion designer Charles Nolan was hired to revive Anne Klein's image as a hipper, more fashion-forward brand.
