Ann Victoria Pennington (born June 3, 1950 in Seattle, Washington) is an American model and actress. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its March 1976 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Pompeo Posar and Phillip Dixon.

Ann was the second half of the first sisters to be Playmates at separate times -- her older sister Janice was Miss May 1971. (Janice would later gain fame as a model on The Price Is Right; Ann would appear occasionally on that program, as well as Card Sharks.)

In 1980 Ann married actor/producer Shaun Cassidy; they divorced in 1993 and share two children, Caitlin Ann Cassidy (b. 25 November 1981) and John (Jake) Pennington Cassidy II (b. 27 February 1985). Ann already had one daughter, Jessica Ann Wilson (b. 8 July 1970), from her first marriage to her high school sweetheart, Steve Wilson. Eventually she married skier Peter Brinkman, whom she had been dating at the time of her pictorial, but he died in 2005.
