María Eugenia de Beer (died 1652), was a Spanish chalcographer.

She was the granddaughter of the painter Joos de Beer and daughter of Cornelius de Beer (1591, Utrecht – 1651, Madrid), a Dutch-born painter and engraver who moved to Spain in 1618.[1] In 1641 she married Nicolas Merstraten. She was known for her production of engraved illustrations. Many of her motifs were religious or mythological. She signed her works with the name "Doña".[2]
