Aniela Zofia Steinsbergowa (born on 27 June 1896 in Vienna; died on 22 December 1988 in Warsaw) was a Polish lawyer[1] known for her work in defending politically well-known cases.

In 1931, she was entered on the list of lawyers, which made her one of the first female lawyers in Poland.[2] In 1934 she joined the Polish Socialist Party. During WWII she was active in the Żegota.[1] After the war she became a co-founder of the Workers' Defense Committee and the Social Self-Defense Committee "KOR".[3]
