Aline Ehrlich, born Aline Buchbinder (26 December 1928 – 5 February 1991) was a freshwater biologist and geologist, recognised for her work on diatoms.[1]

Aline was born in Berlin but in 1938 moved with her family to hide from the Nazis in a small southern French village during the German occupation. Ehrlich studied many subjects including chemistry, geology, botany and zoology at the University of Paris, developing a particular interest in diatoms. Ehrlich moved to Israel in 1969 to work for the Geological Survey for 20 years, investigating distributions of diatoms and compiling an atlas on the diatoms of Israel before she died.

Ehrlich was multi-lingual, speaking German, French, English, Russian and Hebrew.
