Karl Egon Ebert (1801, Prague – 1882, Smíchov) was a Bohemian German poet, born in Prague.

His poems, dramatic and lyric, are collected in 7 volumes, and enjoy a wide popularity in his country. He composed a poem called "Das erste Veilchen", or "The First Violet", which was set to music by Felix Mendelssohn.

German composer Georgina Schubert (1840-1878) used Ebert’s text for her lieder “Der Muschel gleichen meine Leider.” {{Cite web |title=Georgine Schubert Song Texts {{!}} LiederNet |url=https://www.lieder.net/lieder/get_settings.html?ComposerId=24040 |access-date=2023-01-30 |website=www.lieder.net}}
