Si Sofya Vasilyevna Kovalevskaya (Ruso: Софья Васильевна Ковалевская), namundag bilang Korvin-Krukovskaya (15 January [O.S. 3 January] 1850 - 10 Pebrero 1891), sarong Ruso na matematiko na naggibo nin kapansin-pansing mga kontribusyon sa pagsusuri, partial differential equations asin mekaniks. Siya sarong payonir para sa mga kababaihan sa matematika sa bilog na kinaban – an enot na babaeng nakakua nin doctorate (sa modernong kahulugan) sa matematika, an enot babaeng hinirang sa bilang ganap na propesor sa hilagang Europa asin sroa sa mga enot na babaeng nagtrabaho para sa sarong siyentipikong dyornal bilang sarong editor.^[1] Base sa historyador nin agham na si Ann Hibner Koblitz, si Kovalevskaya "an pinakabistong babaeng siyentipiko bago ang ika-20 siglo".^[2]

An historyador sa matematika na si Roger Cooke nagsurat:

... the more I reflect on her life and consider the magnitude of her achievements, set against the weight of the obstacles she had to overcome, the more I admire her. For me she has taken on a heroic stature achieved by very few other people in history. To venture, as she did, into academia, a world almost no woman had yet explored, and to be consequently the object of curious scrutiny, while a doubting society looked on, half-expecting her to fail, took tremendous courage and determination. To achieve, as she did, at least two major results of lasting value to scholarship, is evidence of a considerable talent, developed through iron discipline.^{[3]: Script error: The function "hyphen2dash" does not exist.}

An tugang niyang babae iyo an socialist na si Anne Jaclard.
