Mrs. Santa Claus, or simply Mrs. Claus, is an elderly woman and the wife of Santa Claus. She makes cookies for elves and gives presents for children. Like her husband, she is often portrayed as an immortal.

Mrs. Claus is a fictional personage, and has no historical basis (the real Saint Nicholas of Myra never married, of course), but has become a frequent character in popular culture. Her earliest known appearance was in "A Christmas Legend", by James Rees (1849).

In Santa Claus: The Movie, her first name is Anya. In Fred Claus, she's named Annette.

In The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, she's named Nancy and is also a Vampire (having been one since before she met Santa).
