Ana Beatriz Moser (born 14 August 1968) is a Brazilian former volleyball player and three-time Olympian who played as an outside hitter. She helped make the Brazilian women's national volleyball team a dominant force in the 1990s. From January to September 2023, she served as minister of Sport, and was the first woman to hold the office since its creation in 1995.

Moser was a member of the Brazilian national volleyball team for over a decade, serving as the team captain and winning silver medals at the 1994 FIVB World Championship and 1995 FIVB World Cup. She then won squad's first Olympic medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta with a bronze medal. She participated in the 1999 FIVB World Cup, helping Brazil win the bronze medal and qualify for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, and announced her retirement shortly after the Olympics. She also participated in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul and the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, where Brazil finished in sixth and fourth place, respectively.

In 2009, Moser was inducted into the International Volleyball Hall of Fame.
