Annie Jane Schnackenberg (née Allen; 22 November 1835 – 2 May 1905) was a New Zealand Wesleyan missionary, temperance and welfare worker, and suffragist.

She served as president of the Auckland branch of the Women's Christian Temperance Union New Zealand (WCTU NZ) 1887 to 1897, and national president for WCTU NZ from 1892 to 1901 – overseeing the final push for petitioning the government to grant women the right to vote in national elections.

The family moved to New Zealand in 1861, travelling on the Black Eagle, and became pioneer farmers in the Mount Albert area of Auckland.

[2][3] Allen set out for Kawhia in November 1861, a difficult journey by bullock dray, canoe and foot[4] which took two weeks.

At Kawhia, she assisted Cort Schnackenberg (born 1812)[5] and his wife Amy to save and educate the Māori people.

She was a foundation member of the Auckland branch of the Women's Christian Temperance Union New Zealand (WCTU NZ) in 1885, serving as the superintendent of education.

Due to her extensive experience with Māori people and fluency in the language, she became the WCTU national superintendent of Maori work in 1898.

[1] When women's suffrage was passed, Schnackenberg chaired a large celebratory public meeting in Auckland on 28 September 1893.
