Beatriz Levi Dresner (6 April 1930 – 22 January 2022) was a Chilean mining engineer. A refugee from Benito Mussolini's fascist regime, she became interested in earth sciences as a student at the University of Chile School of Engineering and became one of Chile's first woman mining engineers. She later worked for CORFO and, due to the 1973 Chilean coup d'état, later fled to Sweden, where she became part of the Stockholm University faculty.
