Anna Lacková-Zora (* 7 August 1899, Mošovce - † 8 September 1988, Myjava) was a Slovak author. She published under the pseudonyms of Zora-Lacková, aunt Zora, Zora and Lacková-Zora. At first she worked as a bank clerk, but then fully devoted herself to her literature work, which she began during World War I.

After her first collection of poems (Jarné spevy) she wrote novellas and novels on topics concerning women (Myšacia bundička, Pútnice idú žitím). In her historical prose (Anička Jurkovičová, Z čirej lásky) Lacková-Zora captured the movement around Ľudovít Štúr in Slovak and interslavic context.
