Anne "Dieu-Le-Veut" de Graaf also called Marie-Anne or Marianne (28 August 1661 – 11 January 1710) was a French pirate. Alongside Jacquotte Delahaye, she was one of very few female buccaneers. While Delahaye was likely fictional, Dieu-le-Veut was real; however, many of her exploits are inventions of later writers.
