Anna Victoria of Savoy-Carignan (1680-1763) was the daughter of Louis Thomas of Savoy-Carignan, Duc de Soisson, and Urania de la Cropte, Duchess de Soisson. Louis Thomas was the eldest brother of Prince Eugene of Savoy.

In her early days she was seemingly as much given over to profligacy as her aunts, the sisters of her father. She did not seem to be particularly close to her famous martial uncle. He may have somewhat cared for her, but she did not as readily return the affection.

Upon Eugene's death, Anna Victoria inherited his estate in Austria, of which she then proceeded to quickly sell off at cut rate prices. His mansions, art collections, wartime medals, the sword given to him by Queen Anne of England for his part in the War of the Spanish Succession; nothing was spared her relentless hack job.

She was married for a short time to the Austrian Imperial Quartermaster, Prince Frederick von Sachsen-Hildburghausen, but it ended in divorce.

She then lived for a time in France, and eventually died in Turin, Italy, in 1763 at the age of 83.
