Anna Mohr (10 July 1944 – 4 May 2020) was a Swedish archaeologist and LGBT+ activist. In January 1995, she and her partner Britt Dahlgren were the first lesbian couple to enter in a civil union in Sweden.[1] In May 2020, she died from COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden.[2]

She was formerly the chair of EKHO, and worked with RFSL's Health & HIV group for 20 years.[3] She was one of the activists behind Frigörelsedagen ('liberation day') in Stockholm in the 1970s. The movement eventually grew into Stockholm Pride.[4]
