Ann Cuthbert Rae (1788 – March 15, 1860) was a Scottish-born Canadian writer and educator.
The daughter of John Rae and Margaret Cuthbert, she was born near Aberdeen in a middle-class family.
She published two books of poetry while still living in Scotland: Home in 1815 and A year in Canada, and other poems which appeared in 1816.
During the 1830s, she returned to teaching and developed several school textbooks including First book for Canadian children; Views of Canadian scenery, for Canadian children and The prompter; and Progressive exercises on the English language, to correspond with "The prompter".
She was supported in her efforts by archdeacon John Strachan and governor Sir Charles Metcalfe.
