Anna Grodzka (born on 16 March 1954 in Otwock) is a Polish politician. Grodzka, a trans woman, was elected to the Sejm in the 2011 Polish parliamentary elections as a candidate for the left-liberal Palikot's Movement, and was the first openly transgender Member of Parliament in Poland.[2] In June 2014, Anna Grodzka joined Poland's Green Party.

She was the third openly transgender member of a national parliament worldwide, after Georgina Beyer (in office 1999-2005) and Vladimir Luxuria (2006-2008). She was believed to be the only remaining transgender member of parliament[3] until Nikki Sinclaire (in office 2009-2015) outed herself in November 2013.
