Anna "Annie" Maria van der Vegt (4 December 1903 – 13 April 1983) was a Dutch gymnast who competed in the 1928 Summer Olympics.
In 1928 she won the gold medal as member of the Dutch gymnastics team. Reflecting on her experience at the Olympics in 1978, she noted that there was not yet an Olympic Village and that the gymnasts slept in a school. They were also allowed to watch other events, and she said, "I wanted to see the Games at all cost, but I did not have any money and the cheapest way to go was, of course, to participate".[1]
