Eve Muirhead (born 22 April 1990) is a Scottish curler from Blair Atholl. She won a bronze medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi as part of Team GB and is the 2013 World Champion.

As skip of the Scotland team, Muirhead won the 2011 European Championships in Moscow and the 2013 World Championships in Riga. She is also a four-time World Junior Champion (2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011). She represented Great Britain at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, where she became the youngest ever skip, male or female, to win an Olympic medal. She curls out of the Dunkeld Curling Club based in Pitlochry.

Muirhead was born in Perth, Scotland and first appeared on the world curling scene at the 2007 World Junior Curling Championships in Eveleth, Minnesota, as a third with skip Sarah Reid, and won the gold medal.

At the 2008 Scottish junior women's championship Muirhead skipped her own team, winning all games, and thus qualifying for the next junior world championship. Muirhead was skip for the Scottish team at the 2008 World Junior Curling Championships in Östersund, beating Sweden (skipped by Cecilia Östlund) 12–3 in the final.

Muirhead returned to the 2009 World Junior Curling Championships in Vancouver to play at the Vancouver Olympic Centre, future site of the 2010 Winter Olympics. There she faced the hometown Canadian team led by Kaitlyn Lawes, in the final and defeated them 8–6. Thus Muirhead repeated as world junior champion skip and won her third world junior championship in a row.
