Anna Liberata de Souza (born c. 1819–1823[1]) was the Indian maid of the Anglo-Indian writer Mary Frere.

The stories she told were the basis for Frere's book Old Deccan Days or Hindoo Fairy Legends, Current in Southern India, Collected From Oral Tradition.

It is from her that de Souza and her siblings heard the stories and Hindu fairy legends that she later narrated to Mary Frere.

[4] In 1865–66, Frere accompanied her father on a three-month tour through the Bombay Presidency of India, where he was the governor.

Orientalist Max Müller noted that one of the stories sounded like it had been translated directly from the original Sanskrit.
