Andreas Eberhard Freiherr[1] von Budberg-Bönninghausen (Russian: Андрей Яковлевич Будберг, romanized: Andrey Yakovlevich Budberg; 10 August 1750 – 1 September 1812) was a Baltic German diplomat who served as the foreign minister of the Russian Empire from 1806 to 1807.
Budberg was born in Magnushof (now Mangaļmuiža Manor in Trīsciems, Riga) and entered military service in 1759.
The same year Riga governor-general George Browne recommended Budberg to Empress Catherine II as a diplomat.
In fact, Budberg had been serving in the army as an infantry officer and had no diplomatic experience.
In 1793, Budberg was sent to Stockholm to arrange marriage of Catherine's granddaughter Alexandra Pavlovna and young king of Sweden Gustav IV Adolf.
