Märta Margaretha af Ugglas née Stenbeck (born 5 January 1939) is a former Swedish Moderate Party politician.[1][2][3] She was Minister for Foreign Affairs between 1991 and 1994.

She is the daughter of Hugo Stenbeck, the founder of Investment AB Kinnevik, and the sister of Jan Stenbeck who took over after their father. She graduated from Stockholm School of Economics and later married Bertil af Ugglas who became the Party Secretary of the Moderate Party.

She fought a bitter feud with her brother over the family fortune and subsequently withdrew from her brother and Kinnevik.

After the election victory in 1991, Margaretha af Ugglas became Sweden's second female Minister for Foreign Affairs. Her term included the finalisation of the negotiations leading up to Sweden's entry into the EU.

The Moderate Party lost the 1994 election and she was elected to the European Parliament in 1995.[3]
