Anna Karenina is a Philippine television drama series broadcast by GMA Network. Produced by VIVA Television, it stars Antoinette Taus, Sunshine Dizon, Kim delos Santos and Tanya Garcia. It is a story of four girls with the same name, and a mother searching for her daughter, which is the true Anna Karenina. Taus who plays Anna Karenina "Anna" Serrano was the missing Anna Karenina in the story, despite leaving the show in 2000. The show aired from November 10, 1996 to April 28, 2002. It replaced the long running drama anthology television series, Lovingly Yours, Helen, which was hosted by Helen Vela and later, her daughter Princess Punzalan.

A 2013 remake version starring Krystal Reyes, Barbie Forteza, Joyce Ching & Thea Tolentino, aired on GMA Network from June 3, 2013 to September 20, 2013.

Antoinette Taus left the show in 2000 because she wants to pursue her career in Hollywood. She was replaced by Tanya Garcia as Anna Karenina "Grace" San Victores. In 2001, Taus returned to the country but she didn't reprise her role as Anna Karenina "Anna" Serrano Monteclaro, instead she was given an antagonist role as Anna Karolina Monteclaro / Victoria "Bekbek", Anna's evil twin sister and served as the show's main antagonist.
