Eva Ekeblad (née Eva De la Gardie; July 10, 1724 – May 15, 1786) is a Swedish countess who is a salon hostess, agronomist, and scientist.

She is widely known for discovering a method in 1746 to make alcohol and flour from potatoes, allowing greater use of scarce grains for food production, significantly reducing Sweden's incidence of famine.

Ekeblad is the first female member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (1748).[
