Anja Henriëtte Meulenbelt (born 6 January 1945) is a Dutch writer and former politician of the Socialist Party (SP).

She wrote De Schaamte Voorbij ('The Shame is Over'), published in 1976, which was a piece of second-wave feminist writing in the Netherlands.

The novel was confessional in tone, and made the connection between the body and language politics overt.

[2] She also wrote several books about the Palestinians and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

[1] In August 2014, Meulenbelt terminated her membership of the SP, because she felt the party did not speak out enough against Israel's military actions in the Gaza Strip.
