Anna Goos (1627–1691), was a printer and co-manager of Officina Plantiniana (now called Plantin Press) in Antwerp from 1674 to 1681. She prepared her son, Balthasar II Moretus, to run the business, during political and financially turbulent times, such as during the Franco-Dutch War (1672–1678) and the financial collapse in Spain that affected their largest client, the Hieronymite Fathers of San Lorenzo in Royal Site of San Lorenzo de El Escorial. Her leadership helped prevent the business from closing down during these times.
