Count Carl August Ehrensvärd (May 5, 1745 – May 21, 1800), was a Swedish naval officer, painter, author, and neo-classical architect.

Ehrensvärd was born in Stockholm, and died in Örebro. Though active as a naval officer during his entire life, he is mostly remembered for the burlesque caricatures of often famous people from his era with which he decorated his letters.[1] Some of his writings were published by Svenska Vitterhetssamfundet.[2]
