Ingeborg Akeleye (13 May 1741 -1800) was a Norwegian noble. She became known for her adventourous love life.

Daughter of Jens Werner Akeleye (d. 1772) and Martha Bruun (d. 1797), she married Herman Løvenskiold (1739-1799) in Copenhagen in 1763. They settled in Norway. She was described as a well educated and demanding beauty, him as dissimilar, and their relationship was not happy; the marriage had been arranged. In 1764, she met the infamous libertine Count Christian Conrad Danneskiold-Laurvig, who, in 1765, was exiled from Denmark to Laurvig i Norway after his abduction of the actress Mette Marie Rose from the Royal Danish Theatre. She had a relationship with him and divorced her husband in 1766. Her father was given custody over her, but she escaped his authority and lived with different lovers and friends in Norway and Sweden, such as Brockenhuus, Friis, Kaj Brandt and V. A. d'Orchimont. In 1767, a commission was set up to investigate her elopement, and by the help of Laurwigen, Ingeborg was declared of legal majority; she then lived with Laurwigen, who was exiled a second time to Norway in 1770. In 1783, Laurwigen died and she married the Swedish spy Carl Ingmann von Manderfeldt. The couple settled in Copenhagen in 1787.
