Annie Blake is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Yukon Legislative Assembly in the 2021 Yukon general election. She represented the electoral district of Vuntut Gwitchin as a member of the Yukon New Democratic Party.

She finished in a 78–78 tie with incumbent MLA Pauline Frost on election night, which was further confirmed on a recount.[1] Under Yukon election law, an exact tie between candidates is settled by drawing lots, and Blake was drawn as the winner.[2] This was the second time in the history of the district, following the 1996 Yukon general election, that an election resulted in an exact tie settled in this manner.

Blake served as Deputy Speaker and Chair of Committee of the Whole of the Yukon Legislative Assembly. She also served as the Third Party critic for Health and Social Services, Justice, Tourism and Culture, and Youth Issues. She was defeated in the 2025 Yukon general election.[3]
