The Ehrnrooth family is a Finnish noble family of German origin. It originated from Pomerania, and came to Finland from Livonia around 1600. Its status descends from Johan Plagman (1623–1696), who was raised to nobility in 1687. The family was registered in the Finnish House of Nobility in 1818.[1][2] Members of the Ehrnrooth family have historically belonged to the Swedish-speaking population of Finland.

Many members of the family have been prominent in Finland's business community.
