Cape Anne is a cape that marks the southeastern extension of Coulman Island off the Borchgrevink coast of the East Antarctic Victoria Land.
The British polar explorer James Clark Ross discovered the cape in January 1841 during his Antarctic expedition (1839–1843). He named it after his wife Anne Coulman (1817-1857).
