Anne Haney (March 4, 1934 – May 26, 2001) was an American actress, perhaps best known for her role as social worker Mrs. Sellner in Mrs. Doubtfire and for her unique, high-octave voice.

Haney appeared in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode The Survivors as Rishon Uxbridge, and later appeared as a Bajoran arbitrator in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode “Dax”. She was a regular guest-star during the syndicated run of Mama's Family, playing Alberta Meechum, the nemesis of Thelma Harper and also guest starred on The Golden Girls, Boy Meets World, Columbo, and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Haney was married to John Haney, whom she met at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she had been studying drama, radio, and television. After his death in 1980, she moved with their daughter to Southern California, where she began her acting career. On May 26, 2001, Haney died in her home in Studio City, California, from heart failure. She was 67 years old.
