Ste. Anne (French: Municipalité rurale de Sainte-Anne) is a rural municipality (RM) in the Eastman Region of Manitoba, Canada, lying southeast of Winnipeg. The separately-administered town of Ste. Anne lies within the geographic borders of the municipality, in its northwestern part.[3]

It includes Paradise Village, a 55-plus retirement community, founded in early 1990, many of whose residents are "snowbirds". The municipality has five privately-owned public golf courses—Cottonwood, Oakwood, Ridgewood, Girouxsalem, and Quarry Oaks—and five privately-owned campgrounds—Lilac, Wild Oaks, Rock Garden, Ridgewood and Cherry Hill.[3]

The municipality is one of the earliest-settled areas of Manitoba.[4]
