Anna Ilyinichna Yelizarova-Ulyanova (Russian: Анна Ильинична Елизарова-Ульянова; 26 August [O.S. 14 August] 1864, Nizhny Novgorod - October 19, 1935, Moscow) was a Russian revolutionary and a Soviet stateswoman. She was the older sister of Vladimir Lenin and Maria Ilyinichna Ulyanova, and formerly wife of one of the paintors family Vladimirov.

In 2011, a 1932 letter from Anna to Joseph Stalin was exhibited at the State Historical Museum in Moscow, in which she tells Stalin that Lenin's maternal grandfather was a Jewish native of Zhitomir who converted in order to leave the Pale of Settlement. She asked Stalin to make this publicly known in order to counter increasing anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union at the time, but he refused and told her to keep the matter secret.[1]
