Anna Brita Wendelius, née Ramklou (1741–1804), also known as Wendelia, was a Swedish artist and singer. She was a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music and the Utile Dulci.

Anna Brita Wendelius was married to a wealthy merchant, Anders Wendelius. She was known as a non professional musician and singer, and was also a published poet. She was one of only three females known to have been a member of the Utile Dulci, the other being Anna Charlotta von Stapelmohr and Anna Maria Lenngren.[1] In 1777, it is mentioned that she performed at one of the ceremonies of the Utile Dulci with her own written recitative and aria. In 1795, she was elected as a member into the Swedish Royal Academy of Music, together with Margareta Alströmer and Christina Fredenheim.
