Anna Dušková (born 30 December 1999) is a Czech figure skater. Competing in pairs with partner Martin Bidař, she is the 2016 World Junior champion, 2016 Youth Olympic silver medalist (individually and in the team event), and 2015 JGP Final silver medalist. As a single skater, she is the 2015 NRW Trophy bronze medalist.

Dušková was born on 30 December 1999 in Nymburk, Czech Republic. She began skating in 2004. She was introduced to the activity at school and then persuaded her mother to let her continue with it.

Originally single skaters, Dušková and Bidař began skating together as a pair after their coach, Eva Horklová, suggested the idea. Recalling their beginnings, Dušková stated, "It was quite embarrassing at first, because everybody was skating singles and we had to hold hands. We were so young and shy." In the 2011–12 season, they competed together on the novice national level.

Dušková/Bidař's ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) debut came in the 2013–14 season; they finished 8th in September 2013 in Košice, Slovakia and 6th the next month in Ostrava, Czech Republic. In March 2014, the pair placed 10th at the World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, having ranked 10th in both segments. Dušková also competed as a single skater at the same championships.

In 2014–15, Dušková/Bidař continued on the JGP series, finishing 10th in Estonia and 8th in Germany. They came in 8th at the 2015 World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia after placing 9th in both segments.
