Fanny Zobel — born Fanny Vandsburger — was a politician.

When the First World War began, she joined what would later be part of the Bund Deutscher Frauenvereine (Federation of German Women's Assocations). Towards the end of the war, she joined the German Democratic Party (DDP). She was particularly active in children's and youth work. In 1919 she became a councillor for her district, Berlin-Treptow. In 1933 she was stripped of her duties by the Nazi party.

In 1938 she and her Jewish husband, Carl Zobel, fled to Paris, before obtaining asylum in Brazil in 1940. He died in 1945 and she died in 1958, and neither of them ever returned to Germany.
