„Anė iš Žaliastogių“ – kanadiečių rašytojos Lucy Maud Montgomery romanas, pirmą kartą išleistas 1908 m. Laikomas sėkmingiausiu rašytojos kūriniu – jo pardavimai per daugiau nei šimtą metų siekia virš 50 milijonų kopijų. Romanas išverstas daugiau nei į daugelį pasaulio kalbų.
Knygoje pasakoja apie vienuolikmetę mergaitė Anę Šerli, kurią įsivaikina Matijus ir Merilė Katbertai – vidutinio amžiaus brolis ir sesuo. Mergaitė pas juos patenka per klaidą, kadangi Matijus ir Merilė iš pradžių nori įsivaikinti berniuką, galintį pagelbėti ūkio darbuose. Visgi jie pagaili našlaitės Anės ir leidžia jai pasilikti Žaliastogiuose. Romane aprašomas valiūkiškas, poetiškas Anės charakteris, mergaitės pažintys su vietiniais gyventojais bei įvairūs komiški nutikimai. Pagrindinė kūrinio tema – beribė vaikiška fantazija, meilė gamtai.
Lucy Maud Montgomery parašė ne vieną knygos tęsinį, kuriuose pasakojama apie tolesnį Anės gyvenimą.
Į lietuvių kalbą išvertė Kęstutis Urba, išleido „Alma Littera“. Juozo Miltinio dramos teatras 2012 m. romano motyvais pastatė spektaklį.

In a lifetime full of being able to reread books over and over again, Anne of Green Gables is high on my list of "books I can reread at any time." It's one of the most delicious books I've ever come across, for the writing, the atmosphere, the characters and the scenery. Anne is a loveable girl, but there are so many other characters that capture your heart that it's impossible to pick a favorite. There's Matthew, Mrs. Lynde, Marilla, Aunt Josephine... actually the weakest characters are Anne's childhood companions. I found them all rather typical and undistinguished, whereas the adult personalities fairly leap off the page with their vivid and well-written personalities. Josie Pye was actually the best of the bunch for the children. The only other weakness is the big dose of religion, which is hardly surprising considering it was published in 1908 by a woman who was engaged to a minister. It does at least try and lighten the severe religion of the adults with the dreamy, imaginative version Anne has in her own head, but it is fairly heavy-handed at times - such as when a teacher tells her children that by age 20 their characters will be fixed and pretty much implies that there's no hope of changing thereafter - what a thing to tell a child! Anyway, those weaknesses really are completely incapable of spoiling the book. It is charming, it is beautiful, and it is a wonderful book to curl up with at any time of year and revisit as with an old and faithful friend.
