Ulrikke Eleonore Sigwardt Greve (1868–1951) was a leading Norwegian textile artist in the early 20th-century, excelling in tapestry work. In 1900, she was appointed director of the weaving school at the National Museum of Decorative Arts (Nordenfjeldske Kunstindustrimuseum) in Trondheim. From 1905, she taught and produced rugs in the establishment she opened in Oslo. Some were her own creations, others were from designs by artists including Gerhard Munthe and Arne Kavli. Her works can be seen in Oslo City Hall (the Harald Hardråde tapestry) and in museums including the National Museum of Norway.
