Annie Louise Tanner-Musin (née Annie Louise Hodges 1856 - February 28, 1921) was a coloratura soprano prima donna singer based in New York City.

Tanner-Musin's voice was said to span three octaves and was described as "clear as crystal, fresh as a rose-bud, and which can be compared only to a magic flute." She sang on her own at private clubs and later primarily with the Ovide Musin Concert Company with her husband Ovide Musin who played violin. The two performed together in the U.S. for at least six seasons.

The company traveled extensively including two tours of Europe, two tours Mexico and visits to Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. They toured the world for over a decade, despite Tanner-Musin's claustrophobia and sea sickness which made boat travel difficult.
