It is argued that the observed vacuum energy density and the small values of the neutrino masses could be due to anthropic selection effects. Until now, these two quantities have been treated separately from each other and, in particular, anthropic predictions for the vacuum energy were made under the assumption of zero neutrino masses. Here we consider two cases. In the first, we calculate predictions for the vacuum energy for a fixed ( generally nonzero) value of the neutrino mass. In the second we allow both quantities to vary from one part of the Universe to another. We find that the anthropic predictions for the vacuum energy density are in a better agreement with observations when one allows for nonzero neutrino masses. We also find that the individual distributions for vacuum energy and the neutrino masses are reasonably robust and do not change drastically when one adds the other variable.
