Princess Annemarie of Bourbon-Parma, Duchess of Parma and Piacenza (née Gualthérie van Weezel; born 18 December 1977) is a Dutch consultant, former journalist, and a member of the House of Bourbon-Parma and the Dutch royal family. She worked as a television journalist, specializing in European politics, for the Dutch station NOS Journaal. In 2011, she authored the book De smaak van macht, which focused on the lives of five former Dutch prime ministers. In 2019, Annemarie left journalism and became the first woman to make partner at the consulting firm Ward Howell International.

She is the wife of Prince Carlos, Duke of Parma, the pretender to the defunct throne of the extinct Duchy of Parma and Piacenza and the Carlist claimant to the Spanish throne. As such, Annemarie is considered Queen Annemarie of Spain by Carlists. She is the Countess of Molina in her own right, having been bestowed with the title by her father-in-law, Carlos Hugo, Duke of Parma, in 2010. Per a 1996 royal decree issued by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, upon her marriage she became entitled to the style and title Her Royal Highness Princess Annemarie de Bourbon de Parme in the Netherlands as a member of the extended royal family.
