Anna Magnani (Rome, 7 maart 1908 - aldaar, 26 september 1973) was een Italiaans film- en toneelactrice, die wereldberoemd werd door neorealistische films als Roma, città aperta (1945), Il bandito (1946), L'Amore (1948) en Bellissima (1954). In 1955 speelde zij in haar eerste Hollywoodfilm, The Rose Tattoo, voor haar geschreven door Tennessee Williams. Voor deze rol ontving Magnani een Oscar (Beste Actrice), de eerste voor Italië. Haar groot dramatisch talent bleek vervolgens ook uit films als (1956), Mamma Roma (1962) en The Secret of Santa Vittoria (1969). Toch gaf Hollywood haar niet de kans om tot volle ontplooiing te komen. Steeds weer gaf men haar de rol van de zich moeizaam in de Verenigde Staten handhavende Italiaanse immigrante en daar leed ze onder.
