Anne Alexandra Lawrence (born November 17, 1950) is an American psychologist, sexologist, and former anesthesiologist who has published extensively on gender incongruence. Lawrence is a transgender woman and transitioned when she was in her 40s.

Lawrence is a proponent of Ray Blanchard's transsexualism typology theory and self-identifies as an autogynephilic transgender woman. She has proposed that autogynephilia is not only sexual in nature, but also encompasses elements of romantic love. She has written a 2013 book on autogynephilia called Men Trapped in Men's Bodies: Narratives of Autogynephilic Transsexualism.

Lawrence is a member of the American Medical Association and the International Academy of Sex Research and serves on the board of directors of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality. She lives in Seattle, Washington, where she formerly maintained a private practice in sex therapy. She retired from medical practice in late 2015 and as of December 2021 was last published in 2017.

Lawrence was a consultant for the fifth version (1998) and a coauthor of the sixth version (2001) of the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association (now World Professional Association for Transgender Health) Standards of Care for gender dysphoria and transgender people.
