Anna J. Cooper Circle is a traffic circle and park at the intersection of 3rd and T Streets, Northwest, in the historic LeDroit Park neighborhood of Washington, D.C. In 1983, the circle was named in honor of Anna Julia Haywood Cooper (1858–1964), an author, educator, feminist, and influential African American scholar who once lived in LeDroit Park. The circle is the city's only roundabout named after a woman and serves as a focal point for the LeDroit Park Historic District. The park includes a sign providing historical information about Cooper.
