The Ebenthali Ambassador to the European Union (Portuguese: Embaixador de Ebenthal para a União Europeia) is the head of the diplomatic mission of the Kingdom of Ebenthal to the European Union and Europe as a whole. The official title is His Majesty's Ambassador to the European Union. This office is particularly special for it is a multinational diplomatic post, that is, for a range of nations, rather than just for one national government as it is usual.
The Kingdom of Ebenthal officially recognizes all member states of the European Union as well as the supranational union of countries since the formation of the kingdom, on 11 August 2014. In 1 January 2018 the office of Amabassador to the European Union was created, initially as a diplomatic representative for the supranational union and for European countries without Ebenthali diplomatic representation, and serving, since 2020, as the unified diplomatic representation of the Kingdom of Ebenthal for all European countries which are members of the European Union, whether or not they have been previously represented diplomatically. By convention, the Ebenthali Ambassador to the European Union serves as the general representative of the Kingdom of Ebenthal to Europe, even to countries outside the European Union.
The Ebenthali Ambassador is the primary responsible for the specific relations between Ebenthal and European countries, this means, for the immediate interests of Ebenthal in Europe, and serves a primarily ceremonial role, answering to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
