Eva Ryynänen (née Åsenbrygg; 15 June 1915 – 18 October 2001) was a Finnish sculptor known especially for her work in wood.

[1] Her breakthrough came in 1974, as a result of an exhibition at the Amos Anderson Art Museum in Helsinki, and a national tour following it.

[3] She is especially known for her numerous wooden sculptures, reliefs and wood carvings housed in many Finnish churches.

She sculpted everything, including individually designed pews; the altar is an upturned root cluster of a spruce tree.

[1] In 1977, Ryynänen was awarded the Pro Finlandia [fi] medal of the Order of the Lion of Finland.
