Ans van den Berg, full name Anna Carolina van den Berg, was a Dutch painter (1873-1942) best known for her still lifes. Born in Amsterdam on 18 February 1873, she trained at the Académie Colarossi in Paris.

For more than thirty years she shared a studio in Amsterdam with Jacoba Surie. She was a member of the Amsterdamse Joffers, a group of women painters in the city. A portrait of her by fellow artist Johanna Bauer-Stumpff is held in the Rijksmuseum. She died in Amsterdam on 6 October 1942.

Her name is mostly associated with still life, the genre on which her best-known work concentrated.
