Eva Fiesel, née Lehmann (born 23 December 1891 in Rostock; died 27 May 1937 in New York), was a German linguist and scholar of Etruscan.

Life Her father Karl Lehmann was Professor of Law and Rector of the University of Rostock from 1904 to 1905, and from 1911 in Göttingen. Her mother was the painter Henni Lehmann, and her brother Karl Leo Heinrich Lehmann became a well-known archaeologist.
