Anne Ross (1925 – 29 August 2012) was a British Celtic scholar and archaeologist. Her area of focus was ancient Celtic culture and religion, particularly Druidism and the cult of the head. She was considered one of Britain's leading Celtic scholars. Her book Pagan Celtic Britain is a central text in Romano-British studies. Ross was involved in studying and publicising the supposedly paranormal Hexham Heads.
Ross was married to fellow archaeologist Richard Feachem. They had a daughter named Berenice and a son named Charles.
She was featured on television shows such as Out of the Past (1969), The Celts (1987) and The Celts (2000).
