Annemarie Surlykke (21 October 1955 – 28 July 2015) was a Danish physiologist. She contributed significantly to bioacoustic research, in particular in the fields of insect hearing and acoustic communication, bat echolocation and insect-bat interactions. Graduated from University of Southern Denmark, employments at University of Tübingen and Aarhus University. From 1987 associate professor at University of Southern Denmark, full professor in 2011.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Surlykke's research focused on ultrasonic hearing in noctuid and nothodontid moths. She later expanded to include arctiids, geometrids, pyralids, Sphingiids and other nocturnal insects subjected to predation by bats. During this time, she also studied echolocation in bats. She conducted this research in the lab and in the field, leading into the 2000s and early 2010s.

Alongside her main work on insect and bat bioacoustics Annemarie Surlykke also contributed to the bioacoustics of odontocetes, through cooperation with colleagues Bertel Møhl and Lee A. Miller.
