Sofia Amalia Ribbing (6 March 1835–7 December 1894) was a Swedish painter.

She was the daughter of the governor Per Arvid Ribbing and Carolina Augusta Ehrencrona. From 1850 onward, Ribbing was educated in Stockholm, and then in Düsseldorf for Karl Ferdinand Sohn, in Paris for Jean-Baptiste-Ange Tissier, and in Bryssels for Louis Gallait. She lived in London, in Rome (during the 1870s, with her colleague Agnes Börjesson), and the Hague.[1]

She is known for portraits and genre works.

Her early painting Boys Drawing is in the Gothenburg Museum of Art.
