Anna Margolin (Yiddish: אַננאַ מאַרגאָליו) is the pen name of Rosa Harning Levensbaum (1887-1952) a twentieth century Jewish Russian-American, Yiddish language poet.

Born in Brest, Belarus, then part of the Russian Empire, she was educated up to secondary school level, where she studied Hebrew.[1] In she arrived in New York where most of her poetry was written.[2] Margolin was associated with both the Di Yunge and ‘introspectivist’ groups in the Yiddish poetry scene at the time, but her poetry is uniquely her own.[3] Her reputation rests mainly on the single volume of poems she published in her lifetime, Lider or 'Poems', in 1929.
