Wieke Bosch, (20 February 1882 in Leeuwarden – 17 February 1945 in Ravensbrück), was a Dutch anarchist feminist resistance fighter. An anarchist since the end of World War I, she campaigned notably for women's rights in the Netherlands.
During the German Occupation, Bosch set up underground press and resistance networks, which notably helped save hidden people and Jews. Arrested on 19 November 1942, she was deported to the Ravensbrück concentration camp, where she was executed by firing squad.
Her life quickly fell into obscurity but was rediscovered in the early 21st century.
