Anne de Bourbon (1380 – September 1408) was a daughter of John I, Count of La Marche and his wife Catherine of Vendôme. She was a member of the House of Bourbon.
Anne was one of the seven children of John I, Count of La Marche and Catherine de Vendôme. Included among her siblings were James II, Count of La Marche, Louis, Count of Vendôme, and Queen Charlotte of Cyprus. Through her sister, Anne was the aunt of John II of Cyprus and Anne, Duchess of Savoy. She also had an illegitimate half-brother by her father's relationship with a mistress.
Anne's paternal grandparents were James I, Count of La Marche and Jeanne de Châtillon. Her maternal grandparents were Jean VI, Count of Vendôme and Jeanne of Ponthieu.
