Anna Henriette "Jette" Pauss (2 April 1841, at Frogner Manor in Aker (now Frogner, Oslo) – 4 April 1918, in Christiania), née Anna Henriette Wegner, was a Norwegian teacher, editor, humanitarian and missionary leader and estate owner. With her husband Bernhard Pauss, she was a major figure in girls' education in Norway in the 19th and early 20th centuries. She served as headmistress of the country's preeminent educational institution for girls and women, Nissen's Girls' School, and was extensively involved in other schools and organizations. She was also editor of the journal Santalen and one of the key leaders of the Norwegian Santal Mission that ran schools, hospitals and social projects in India. She was the youngest daughter of mining magnate Benjamin Wegner and banking heir Henriette Wegner (née Seyler), and was one of the co-owners of Hafslund Manor with two of her siblings until 1894.
