Countess Anne Dorte of Rosenborg (née Anne Dorte Maltoft-Nielsen; 3 October 1947 – 2 January 2014) was a Danish countess. She was the wife of Count Christian of Rosenborg, the grandson of King Christian X of Denmark. Prince Christian had to give up his princely rank in order to marry her because she was a commoner. The couple married in Kongens Lyngby Kirke, Kongens Lyngby, on 7 February 1971, earning her the title Her Excellency Countess Anne Dorte of Rosenborg. She was daughter of Villy Edgaard VIlhelm Nielsen, Procurator, and wife Bodil Marie Elisabeth Maltoft.

Since 1991, Anne Dorte and Christian of Rosenborg resided in a detached classical wing of the royal palace Sorgenfri in Lyngby near Copenhagen.
