Anjum Chopra (born 20 May 1977) is one of the pillars of batting of the Indian women's cricket team. She was born in New Delhi.

She made her debut in One-day Internationals on 12 February 1995 against New Zealand at Christchurch, New Zealand, and made her debut in Test cricket a few months later, against England at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on 17 November 1995.

She usually opens the batting for India. She is a left-handed batswoman and the elegance of her batting is said to be reminiscent of great English batsman David Gower. She has a rock solid defence. She usually starts slowly, but can go on to make big scores. Her highest scores in Tests and One Day Internationals are 80 and 100 respectively. She is also an occasional right-arm medium fast bowler.
