Anna Maria Garthwaite (14 March 1668- October 1763) was an English textile designer of the mid-18th century. She began designing in her thirties and soon mastered the craft, and favored to design silk. Located in the Spitalfields outside of London, the heart of the silk weaving trade at the time, her floral designs became increasingly popular first around Britain- then around the globe. Many of her textile designs are still preserved in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
