Anna-Lisa (born 1933) is a Norwegian-born actress who appeared primarily in American films and television.

Anna-Lisa was born in Oslo, Norway, as Anna Lisa Ruud and worked there at the Central Theater. In 1954, she traveled to the United States to visit her brother, a travel agent in Hollywood, California. This led to an acting career in which she was cast in guest-starring roles in such western television series as Sugarfoot, Maverick, and Bronco, all of which were aired by ABC/Warner Brothers. She guest starred on the 1960 series, The Islanders, an adventure/drama set in the South Pacific, as well as on Bonanza (episode: "The Savage") and Gunsmoke.

Anna-Lisa then acquired a recurring role as Nora Travers in the ABC western series Black Saddle, with Peter Breck and Russell Johnson. Her success in Black Saddle resulted in roles in two spaceflight-themed feature films: the 1959 comedy Have Rocket, Will Travel and a year later in 12 to the Moon. She continued to appear in such television series as GE True, hosted by Jack Webb, until she left Hollywood to follow a career on the stage.
