Anne Richmond Warner French (October 14, 1869 – February 3, 1913) was an American popular humorous author, best known for her local color stories about the character Susan Clegg.

In 1888, when she was 18, she married Charles Elting French, a Minneapolis flour manufacturer twenty five years older than her.

She lived for two years in Tours, France and published her first novel, His Story, Their Letters (1902), a story told in conversations of a man and a woman who fall in love in Tours but eventually marry other people.

She moved back to Saint Paul in 1903, but soon returned to Europe permanently, living in Hildesheim, Germany and Marnhull, Dorset, England.

Warner's most popular works were about Susan Clegg, a woman who retells local gossip to her friend Mrs. Lathrop, who is often asleep in her rocking chair.
