Anne Locke (Lock, Lok) (née Vaughan) (c.1533 – after 1590) was an English poet, translator and Calvinist religious figure.

She has been called the first English author to publish a sonnet sequence, A Meditation of a Penitent Sinner (1560), although authorship of that work has arguably been attributed to Thomas Norton.
