Ana Osterman (born 1940) is a Slovene social worker and politician who served as the Minister of Veterans Affairs from 1992 until 1993.
Due to the presence of a nearby Roma settlement, Osterman was raised in a multicultural environment; this influenced her beliefs towards solidarity and tolerance.
Her experiences growing up led her to become interested in social work, and she graduated from university with a degree in sociology.
Initially focusing on "youth responsibility and crime", she eventually came to lead the Center for Social Work in the town of Ptuj for fourteen years.
She also led the Ptuj Optimists Association, through which she advocates for the elderly via a series of programs to provide assistance and social help.
