Anselperga (fl. 772), was an Italian abbess. She was the eldest daughter of
Abbess of San Salvatore e Santa Giulia, which her parents had formed in Brescia
from the union of San Michele e San Pietro with San Salvatore e Santa Maria.
Anselperga was richly endowed with land. She received donations from her father, mother, brother
Archbishop of Milan. Nevertheless, on 13 October 772, Anselperga received a privilege from Patriarch Siguald. The date of Anselperga's death is unrecorded, but she was replaced by Radoara
as early as 781.
