Dr. Ethelwynn Trewavas (November 5, 1900 - August 16, 1993) was an ichthyologist from the British Museum of Natural History. She was known for her work on the families Cichlidae and Sciaenidae. She worked with Charles Tate Regan another ichthyologist and taxonomist. She served as the senior scientist in the Fish Section of the British Museum of Natural History for almost 50 years, and was known internationally as an authority on several diverse groups of fishes. She was best-known for her work describing African Rift lake cichlids, but she published extensively on other groups as well.
