Margaret Ann Hartley, known as Ann Hartley, is a former New Zealand member of parliament, a former Mayor of North Shore City, and a member of the Labour Party.

Hartley was born in 1942 in the town of Warkworth. Before entering politics, she was a real estate agent.

Hartley was the mayor of Birkenhead, which later became a suburb of North Shore City. She was then mayor of North Shore City.

She unsuccessfully contested the Birkenhead electorate in the 1993 election, coming second to National's Ian Revell. She unsuccessfully contested the Northcote electorate in the 1996 election, again coming second to Revell. As she was ranked 47th on Labour's party list in the first MMP election, she did not enter Parliament as a list MP either.

She was first elected to Parliament in the 1999 election, winning the Northcote electorate. She was re-elected for Northcote in 2002, but in 2005 was defeated by Jonathan Coleman, a long-standing rival. She remained in Parliament as a list candidate.

Hartley served as the Deputy Speaker of the House in the 47th New Zealand Parliament and the Assistant Speaker from the 2005 general election until her retirement from national politics in February 2008. She was replaced by former environment minister Marian Hobbs as Assistant Speaker and by Louisa Wall as Labour list MP.
