Ilka Agricola (born 8 August 1973 in The Hague)[1] is a German mathematician who deals with differential geometry and its applications in mathematical physics.

[1] After a guest stay at Rutgers University in New Jersey (United States) that lasted until the end of 1997 she went to the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, where in 2000 she earned a mathematics doctorate under Thomas Friedrich [de].

[3] From 2003 to 2008, she led one of the Volkswagen Foundation funded research groups at Humboldt University in the field of special geometries in mathematical physics.

[4] Agricola is Editor in Chief of two academic journals in mathematics published by Springer Science+Business Media, Annals of Global Analysis and Geometry (since 2015) and Mathematische Semesterberichte (since 2021).

[6] In 2016, she was awarded the Ars legendi faculty prize [de] of the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft and German Rectors' Conference for excellence in teaching mathematics.
