Annemarie Bostroem (24 May 1922 – 9 September 2015) was a German poet, playwright, and lyricist. She lived most recently in the Prenzlauer Berg neighborhood of Berlin.

Bostroem was born to a family of doctors in Leipzig. Having attended schools in Munich and Königsberg, she studied theatre studies and German studies in Leipzig, Berlin and Vienna during World War II. From 1944 to her death in 2015, she lived in Berlin. From 1946 to 1954, Bostroem was an Associate of construction-stage sales, where she wrote poetry and plays.
