Anastasia Dobromyslova (born 26 September 1984) is a professional darts player from Russia, and the current Women's World Professional Darts Champion of the British Darts Organisation. She started to play darts at the age of eleven, and has become Russian champion six times. According to Anastasia, it was quite easy because hardly anyone played the game in Russia. She uses the song "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence as her walk-on music.

Notable performances include beating Trina Gulliver on her debut on the Bavaria World Darts Trophy in 2004 and winning the Dutch Open in 2005.

Anastasia has been ranked number 4 in the British Darts Organisation for the last two years. She has been a British Darts Organisation semi-finalist in the 2007 World Championships on her first visit, and she returned there in 2008 as the number 4 seed, defeating Dee Bateman in the first round and Stephanie Smee (who defeated number one seed Francis Hoenselaar in the Quarter-finals) setting up a final with Trina Gulliver, the seven-time world champion who was undefeated at the Lakeside. The final took place on Friday, January 11, 2008, and Dobromyslova defeated Gulliver by two sets to nil, to become women's world darts champion for the first time, thus ending Gulliver's seven year run as world champion.

In 2007 Anastasia won the British Darts Organisation England Open, retained her British Open title she won in 2006, and many other singles titles across Europe. Anastasia has retained her number 4 world ranking despite lack of sponsorship and travel visa problems preventing appearance at some tournaments. In October 2007 Anastasia became the first Russian World Champion in darts as she won the World Cup Pairs event in The Netherlands with her partner Irina Armstrong.

She has since switched over to the PDC to play in a one off tournament and narrowly went out in the first round to Robert Thornton in the UK Open. Anastasia is not currently a member of the PDC.

She is currently engaged to be married in October 08 to male player Tony Martin, who qualified for the 2005 BDO World Championship and is residing in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, England.
