Anjuman (Urdu: انجمن‎) is a Pakistani film actress. She was one of the most successful Punjabi film heroines of Pakistan during the 1980s and early 1990s. Her real name is Anjuman Shaheen and she was born in Bahawalpur. Anjuman's parents were from Ahmadpur East, settled in Multan where Anjuman was brought up, and then later migrated to Lahore. Her younger sister Gori is also an actress.

Her career spanned almost 20 years and she appeared in more than 300 films. She first appeared in the Urdu film, Soorath (1973) co-starring with Waseem Abbas, Afshan, Taj Niazi, and she gave her last appearance in 2000 in the film Peengan. Film Soorath was not a success; her first major hit was Waadey Ki Zanjeer (1979). She had major roles in Sher Khan and Chan Varyam (1981) and played a supporting role in film Sala Sahib (1981). All three were diamond jubilee hit films and were released the same day, a unique record, which she shared with her partner-hero Sultan Rahi, her playback voice (singer) Melody Queen Madam Noor Jehan, and musician Wajahat Attre. Anjuman was a darling of the working classes, who went to the cinema frequently. She could dance according to their taste and she had the figure of a traditional Punjabi Mutyaar, which is the ideal of adult males, especially in Punjab, Pakistan.
