Ulrika Melin (1767–1834) was a Swedish textile artist and a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts.
She was born to Major Lars Melin and was a sister of General Major Henrik Georg Melin. She was married to the governor of Västerås Castle, Peter Thure Gerhard Drufva, in 1788. Melin was a textile artist with "an unusual ability to sew landskapes".[1] In 1784, she was elected to the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts for a work in white sateen inspired by the work of Claude Lorrain.[citation needed]
