Anna Maria Hilfening, née Lange (21 April 1713 – 26 May 1783), was a Swedish artist and portrait miniaturist.
She was born in Stockholm, the daughter of a book-keeper. She displayed talent in drawing as a child, became a student of artist Burchardt Precht in 1722, at the age of nine, and was later a student of the artist Niclas Lafrenssen the Elder.
She was admired by Carl Gustav Tessin, and by the royal house. She painted in oil and made drawings, but was foremost a miniaturist. Among her clients were the king and the queen, king Frederick I of Sweden and queen Ulrika Eleonora of Sweden.
She married the city surgeon Hilfeling in 1739. Her son, Carl Hilfeling, also became an artist.
Anna Maria Hilfeling died at Romelanda, Bohuslän.
