Anita Ruth Greve (5 August 1905 – 19 September 1972) was a Norwegian painter.

She was born in Kristiania as a daughter of Bredo Greve (1871–1931) and Finnish citizen Esther Hougberg (1878–1939). She was a niece of Ulrikke Greve.[1][2]

She studied at the Norwegian National Academy of Fine Arts from 1935 to 1936 and 1938 to 1940, and her solo debut exhibition came at Kunstnerforbundet [no] in 1946. She also took part in Høstutstillingen twenty-five times, and was represented in collective exhibitions in other Nordic countries.[1]

During the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany, Greve was imprisoned in Grini concentration camp from June 1942 to the war's end in May 1945.[3]
