Anne-Marie Dagmarsdottir (1445–1580) was a NidarosianStorish noblewoman, reigning in Nidaros as its first Queen regnant under the name Queen Dagmar (1515–1516), and as queen of Ravaria (?–?). She was married to Morten (Martin), Count of Hessen. She was the Countess of Haldarsvik-Holmestrand (inherited from her mother, Dagmar of Haldarsvik-Holmestrand), and Countess of Hessen (from her husband, Morten, né Martin, who she had met in what was to become Treisenberg). Anne-Marie was a popular noblewoman in Nidaros, and became head of the royal household of Nidaros in 1509, serving under King Camillus I. In 1514, King Camillus appointed her his regent, and, in 1515, he abdicated the throne in her favour. She ascended the throne, taking her maternal name Dagmar as her regnal name.

During Queen Dagmar's short reign, she ensured that the court system was reformed (republished after her abdication as Lady Anne-Marie's Treatise Lady Treatise on the Sovereign Household, a publication that came to govern the house rules of the House of Ettlingar Freyu and the Royal Family of Vanic Elwynn), and Nidarosian government was streamlined. She made the monarchy dynastic. Citing commitments outside Nidaros, she abdicated in 1516, leaving the throne to her daughter, crown princess Birla Mortensdottir.

She was also Queen of Ravaria, but bequeathed her Ravarian holdings to Fränzi-Ferdinanda, the daughter of King Arkadius Leopold des Vinandy of Batavia (1502–1565) and his wife Ærinndís des Vinandy - Ettlingar Freyu.
