Ebba-Elisabeth Busch (née Busch-Christensen, formerly Busch Thor; born 11 February 1987) is a Swedish politician, serving as the Deputy Prime Minister of Sweden, Minister for Energy and the Minister for Business and Industry since October 2022. She has served as Leader of the Christian Democrats since April 2015.

She has criticised the shift towards multiculturalism, and also endorse the controversial move to shift Swedish embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. She argues that Turkish membership in the EU should be rejected.

In March 2021, Busch was embroiled in a criminal investigation for defamation, in which Busch pleaded guilty to a charge of grave defamation, resulting in probation and a SEK 60,000 fine.

Busch was born on 11 February 1987 in Uppsala, Sweden. Born to a Swedish mother and Norwegian father, she identifies as both Norwegian and Swedish. Growing up in Gunsta, near Uppsala, she was a student at the Christian Word of Life primary school. She later studied the IB Diploma Programme at Katedralskolan in Uppsala, and peace and conflict studies at Uppsala University.

Busch was the municipal party political secretary for the Christian Democrats councillor Gustaf von Essen in the Uppsala Municipality. In 2009, she assumed responsibility for the budget when Essen went on sick leave, and at the age of 22 she became a substitute municipal councillor. Ahead of the election for municipal councillors in Uppsala in 2010, the party suggested that Busch should be placed third on the election ballot, while the incumbent councillor Gustav von Essen would be first. The party youth organization chairman Charlie Weimers, who did not get to vote in the election, wrote that he thought the party should have Busch at the top of the ballot.

In the end, a closed vote within the party decided the top name on the ballot, and Busch beat von Essen by a margin of two votes. At the election, Busch received 1,679 votes, against only 220 for von Essen. Busch served as vice chairman of the Christian Democrat youth organisation until 5 June 2011.^{[citation needed]}

Busch made several comments to the media during 2010 criticizing the then party chairman Göran Hägglund, and what she perceived as his weak leadership following the 2006 General Election. Ahead of the January 2012 leadership election within the party, she supported Hägglund's opponent Mats Odell. She was also herself a candidate for the post of deputy party chairman at the same election, but lost to Maria Larsson. Alf Svensson, former party leader, has described his disappointment with Busch's worldview.

In 2015, Busch was announced as the suggested successor of Göran Hägglund as party leader of the Christian Democratic party, and was formally elected on 25 April. Her time as leader was long characterized by uncertainty on how to profile the party, and consistent low numbers in opinion polls. Her early attempts to gain votes by adopting tougher positions on immigration and law and order were thwarted when the Moderate Party usurped that space. This was followed by a return to a focus on more traditional Christian Democratic issues, such as healthcare and family politics. At the same time, Busch continued to position the party in a more conservative direction on other issues like the opposition to mosque prayer calls and gender science at preschools. At the same time, she also came under attack from social conservatives inside her own party for participating in the Stockholm Pride Parade.
