Ernst Christian Traugott-Olsen (died 2004) was a Danish entomologist specialising in Lepidoptera, particularly the micro-moth family Elachistidae. He co-authored the taxonomic monograph The Elachistidae (Lepidoptera) of Fennoscandia and Denmark.[3]. Several insect species have been named after him in his honour, e.g. Neotelphusa traugotti, Parornix traugotti, Coleophora traugotti, Scythris traugotti, and Palaeoelachista traugottolseni.
