Anne Lee Long, known professionally as Anna Banana, was a Canadian artist known for her mail art, performance art, writing, and work as a small press publisher. She has been described as an "entrepreneur and critic" who helped pioneer the artistamp, a postage-stamp-sized medium. She was prominent in the mail art network since the early 1970s, acting as a bridge between the movement's early history and its second generation. As a publisher, Banana launched Vile magazine and the "Banana Rag" newsletter; the latter became Artistamp News in 1996. Her archive of mail art-related papers is housed at the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery at the University of British Columbia.
