Anne FitzPatrick, Countess of Upper Ossory

Engraving by [[David Lucas (engraver)|David Lucas]] Anne FitzPatrick, Countess of Upper Ossory (''née'' Liddell, – 23 February 1804), formerly Anne FitzRoy, Duchess of Grafton, was an English noblewoman and the first wife of Augustus Henry FitzRoy, 3rd Duke of Grafton. Grafton divorced her while serving as prime minister and while he was publicly engaging in an affair with Anne Parsons.

She was a noted correspondent of Horace Walpole. In 1761, FitzPatrick sent a silhouette that Jean Huber had created of her and her daughter to Walpole. This letter was to be the start of a correspondence of 455 letters between herself and Walpole. In a letter to Horace Mann, Walpole wrote that Anne was "not a regular beauty, but one of the finest women you ever saw, and with more dignity and address. She is one of our first great ladies."
