Anna Elisabeth of Palatinate-Simmern was a German noblewoman, daughter of Marie of Brandenburg-Kulmbach and Frederick III, Elector Palatine, and wife of Philip II, Landgrave of Hesse-Rheinfels and later of John Augustus, Count Palatine of Lützelstein. Schloss Philippsburg (Braubach) was her dower.

Fun fact: As she tried to intervene in a rioting crowd, a knight called Lutze Wurm von Wolfershausen (under protection by the lutheran Elisabeth of Hesse, Electress Palatine, sister of William IV, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel) scolded her as a calvinist woman, shot her in the right arm and overran her (with a horse). Neither Elisabeth's relatives, nor her husband intervened, and only landgrave William IV got Lutze Wurm dismissed from service for the insult.
