Elisabet von Eyben (1745 – 1780), was a Danish courtier, lady in waiting to the queen consort of Denmark, Caroline Matilda of Great Britain, from 1766 until 1771. She was the queen's confidante in her love affair with Johann Friedrich Struensee but was fired in 1771 because of rivalry between her and the queen about Struensee.[1]
After the fall of Struensee, von Eyben gave testimony that seriously damaged the cause of the queen during the divorce.[2]
