No, but she probably had a residual third nipple or some sort of birthmark on her chest.

Anne Boleyn was, without doubt, a "very sexy girl"! Not, by the conventions of the day, particularly beautiful, but she was tall, dark (with striking dark brown - "black" - eyes), interesting, & very vivacious: fiercely intelligent, & having spent much time at the French Court, much more sophisticated than most of the ladies at Henry VIII's "boys' gang" Court. She had strong opinions which were openly expressed (not generally a good move for women in Early Modern England - especially not at Court!); had no fear of men, & frequently bested them in argument. It's no wonder that Henry, bored & frustrated by his marriage to Catherine, fell for her, and no wonder many courtiers disliked her!

There were many at Henry VIII's Court who hated & feared Anne Boleyn: partly due to sympathy for Catherine of Aragon, but also because of her "French manner" & forthright/ outspoken ways. The fact she supported Protestant "heresy" did not endear her to many either!

Nicknamed "Black Nan", many believed she was a witch who'd ensnared the king by enchantment. When she fell from favour, her enemies were quick to pounce, & typically for the time, unusual physical characteristics (particularly marks on the body) were adduced as "proof" of involvement in "black arts"/ witchcraft: Anne, with her residual nipple/ birthmark (& possibly also a tiny residual extra finger) was easy prey.

The anti-Boleyn Court Faction, aided by the Machiavellian Thomas Cromwell, wasted no time in constructing a "case" against her: most serious historians now agree such charges were absurd. If, however, she did have an unusual birthmark/ residual nipple (& at the very "public" Tudor Court there would have been many ladies in waiting who'd have seen such when dressing/ attending on the Queen) then this would have been a Propaganda gift to those wishing to suggest to a very superstitious world that she was in league with "dark forces"! She didn't have a chance...

Third breast?! No! An unusual birthmark or residual third nipple? Very probably... and the fact lurid tales about her alleged distinctive physical features still circulate is an indication of just how ruthlessly effective the Court campaign against her was.
