Jennifer Anson (born March 5, 1977, in New York City, United States) is an American-Palaun judoka.
At the 2012 Summer Olympics Jennifer Anson competed on behalf of the Republic of Palau in Women's 63 kg, but she was defeated in the initial elimination round of 32. Anson lost her first Olympic bout to a younger and more seasoned Mongolian opponent, Munkhzaya Tsedevsuren. Tsedevsuren went on to compete in the quarter finals before losing to the eventual gold medalist, Slovenia's Urška Žolnir. Anson's bout lasted 46 seconds, before her 26-year-old Mongolian opponent emerged with the victory. Anson's defeat resulted from an Ippon, or technical knockout, and a perfect score of 110 to 0 for Tsedevsuren, the highest possible score in judo. The strangling technique used by Tsedevsuren in her victory over Anson is known as a okuri eri jime.
