Ulrika Eleonora "Ulla" von Höpken (née von Fersen; later von Wright; 24 March 1749 – 17 September 1810), was a Swedish countess and courtier. She is also famous in history as one of "the three graces" of the Gustavian age; three ladies-in-waiting (Augusta von Fersen, von Höpken and Louise Meijerfeldt) immortalized in the poem "Gracernas döpelse" by Johan Henric Kellgren. She was a leading socialite and trendsetter in contemporary Sweden, and one of the best known personalities of the Gustavian age.
