Anna Megale Komnene (Greek: Άννα Μεγάλη Κομνηνή, Anna Megalē Komnēnē), (6 April 1357 - after 30 November 1406), was a Trapezuntine Queen consort of Georgia as the second wife of King Bagrat V. She was the mother of his youngest son, Constantine I of Georgia, who would later in 1407 succeed his half-brother, King George VII and reign as king.

She was a member of the powerful Byzantine Greek Komnenos dynasty which was founded by Isaac I Komnenos in 1057.

Anna was born in Trebizond on 6 April 1357, the day before Good Friday, the eldest daughter and child of Emperor Alexios III of Trebizond and Theodora Kantakouzene. She had two younger brothers, Basil and Manuel; and three younger sisters: Eudokia, Maria, and another whose name is not known; all three were later married to Muslim Turkmen rulers. Anna had also at least one illegitimate half-brother, Andronikos, by her father's liaison with an unnamed mistress.

In April 1362, a delegation that included megas logothetes George, the Scholaris, the Sebastos and the historian Michael Panaretos went to Constantinople, to negotiate her betrothal to Andronikos Palaiologos who would later rule as Byzantine Emperor Andronikos IV. For unknown reasons, the betrothal was annulled, and another husband was later chosen for her.
