Anna Bayle (born 1959) is a Filipino model dubbed as the first Asian "supermodel".

She became known in the late 1970s and early 1980s as one of the top ten models of the world in only two years, also being touted the “Model of the '80s.” Bayle worked for all the major European designers and was a muse to many important designers. She also became one of the highest paid--and one of the top 3 models of that time.^[1]
