Anna Dogonadze (Georgian: ანა დოღონაძე) is a German gymnast of Georgian origin who won a gold medal in the event of trampolining at the 2004 Summer Olympics.

She was born on 15 February 1973 in Mtskheta, Georgian SSR, (present day Georgia). Prior to Georgian independence, she competed for the Soviet Union, and afterwards represented Georgia in international competition. Dogonadze became a German citizen after marrying a German national. They live in Bad Kreuznach, Germany, with their daughter Mariam. By profession, Dogonadze is a teacher.

She was the oldest finalist in her event at the 2004 Athens games, at age 31; the oldest competing in her event at the 2008 Beijing Games, at 35 years old; and oldest in her event at the 2012 London games, at 39 years old.
