Eberhard Isbrand Ides (1657 - 1708) was a Danish traveller and diplomat. In 1692 he travelled to China as a Russian ambassador, returning in 1694.
He was one of the most important early Europeans to describe the Gobi Desert. His account appeared in French translation, along with a work by Cornelis de Bruijn, in Voyage de Corneille Le Brun par la Moscovie, en Persia, et aux Indes Orientales (6 parts in 2 volumes), published in Amsterdam in 1718.
